From Torhout to Roeselare

The West Flemish Torhout is seen as the capital of the Houtland, the region that covers the largest part of central West Flanders. The Houtland owes its name to its wooded character and the rows of trees between the fields are a typical feature. Are you visiting Torhout? Then also try the famous Torhout beer Thouroutenaere. Roeselare was first mentioned in 847. It was an important industrial and trading place from the 10th century and received city rights and privileges in 1250.

When visiting this Flemish city, enjoy the green space that is everywhere, the many shops with something for everyone and the numerous historical monuments that define the old cityscape, such as the belfry tower and the Klein Seminarie. Beer lovers might want to try a sip of Rodenbach, the red-coloured mixed fermentation beer that is brewed in this city.
