Hill 60, a World War I battlefield in the Ypres Salient of Flanders, stands at 197 feet (60 meters) above sea level.

Today, visitors can explore the area, which is marked by several memorials and monuments dedicated to the soldiers who fought and fell here. The landscape, though transformed by time, still bears the scars of the intense battles, offering a somber and reflective experience for those interested in the history of the Great War.
