COVID-19 Measures

The safety of our guests, our employees, our suppliers and other stakeholders is of the utmost importance. We are extremely cautious about this, which is why we will only start one month after the permitted reopening date (8 June 2020) (i.e. on 3 July 2020). This has given us the extra time and space to prepare everything in a very good way. Here is a list of measures we have taken to combat the COVID-19 coronavirus.

Although the Heuvelland and Ypres region has relatively few corona infections, we must remain very vigilant. Everyone, i.e. you as our guest, our staff, etc. must realise that we must work together to create a safe environment. We list below a number of rules that we all abide by together, without discussion and in the public interest.
