Read More...staying at chris and hide's was really staying at home. the house is warm and open. taking care of the animals, goose chicken and rabbit and of the green house with salad cucumbers tomatoes and aubergines was so relaxing. the area is a perfect point where to discover west flanders. they also surprised us with little presents. we really felt comfortable and welcome. now we know we have good friends in belgium. and that's the best thing: not only the holiday itself, but what the holiday leaves... nice persons.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in Lichtervelde, a small village (8.000 habitants) but with all the stores necessary.
At two hundred metres, there is a swimming pool. Lichtervelde has also some good restaurants and one of the last local cinemas in Belgium! Bruges is just 15 minutes from our house

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Flanders is a relative small region with many historical cities, touristic events and places.
Our village has an access to a highway. In no time you are in Bruges (15 minutes), ‘Courtrai’(20 min.), Ghent (50 min.) Brussels (1 h), Antwerp (1,25 h), Lille (France, 40 minutes,) or even the Netherlands (border at 35 kilometres). Lichtervelde is also not far from the Belgium coast (30 km.). In Lichtervelde there is a railway station with direct connections to Ghent, Brussels, Bruges, Kortrijk and the coast.
The region is a good area for cycling and walking. (It’s quit, no great hills, not many dangerous ways,). We have bicycles for adults (even a tandem) and it’s possible to foresee bicycles for children of every age.
For children there are also some funparcs as Bellewaerde, Plopsaland and Boudewijnparc with a beautiful dolphinesshow. (all at about 40min driving)
