De Poelberg is a 45 meter high hill, a street and a meeting center at almost the same location in the Belgian city of Tielt. You have a beautiful 360 degree view of the surroundings. A cozy restaurant provides the ideal stop during a long bike ride!

Poelbergmolen

Highlight • Monument

The oldest known mention of the Poelberg mill dates from 1668, the current wooden post mill was built in 1726. This date has been found on various mill parts. After the Second World War, the mill was repaired from war damage. A thorough renovation took place in 1957. The mill remained in operation until about 1970. When the mill became city property in 1980, it was in a very dilapidated condition. Restoration work began in 1989, making it ready for grinding again in 1993. To preserve the openness of the area and the wind catch, the surrounding landscape was protected as a village view in 1993.

Ketelberg – Highest Point of Meulebeke (37 m Above Sea Level)

Highlight • Summit

Highest point of Meulebeke 37m above sea level; a west-east oriented ridge that extends from Hulstvelde (Fort) to the Ketelberg. The 'Hooghe'/de Ketelbergh was probably the oldest settlement in Meulebeke (silex finds) and the hamlet of Paanders (Den Paender) is the remnant of the Ryckaertrakete manor that extended to Ingelmunster.

M108 Howitzer by the Leie

Highlight • Monument

This war memorial, a M108 Howitzer, commemorates the fallen soldiers who died during the Battle of the Leie. (24 - 26 May 1940, WW2). The first superstructure, M109 Howitzer, was donated in 1997 by the Sixth Artillery Regiment for the 30th anniversary of the connection with the city of Waregem. In 2008, during the celebration of V-Day, a complete M108 Howitzer was donated by the artillery department from Brasschaat. This confirmed the 40th anniversary of connection. During the construction of the new bridge over the Leie a few years ago, the artillery vehicle was temporarily moved. This armoured vehicle can be admired on the border of Ooigem and Desselgem, on the Desselgem side of the new Munken Bridge.
