Waterlogged. It must have been horrendous to have spent several years there.

Canadalaan 26, 8902 Ieper, Belgium
The German trenches at Bayernwald very close by are much better, but they were recently restored to their original condition, so it is probably not a fair comparison. Watch it below:

Sanctuary Wood, Hill 62,Belgium
Leaving the historic Belgian town of Ypres via the Menin Gate, you can travel the once heavily- contested Menin Road for just a few kilometres and come across a number of familiar names and places. Sanctuary Wood is on the site of Hill 62 (as was) and is one of the long-established stops for those interested in First War sites. It claims to be an undisturbed section of the trenches and certainly, the outline of craters both big and small are easily made out amidst the dug-outs. There is also a small museum which seems largely unchanged from the first time I visited thirty years ago. Vintage stereoscopes show graphic pictures from the Western Front and each room is lined by 'finds' presumably turned up in nearby fields.I keep expecting to find this place updated but as an example of the way in which we used to remember as well as for its own value, it's a must visit for any student of the Great War.

Hill 60, Ieper (Ypres) Belgium
Hill 60, so named because of the map contour around the site, is located about 2 miles south east of Ieper. In the Great War, its height and location made it a focus of fighting on the Ypres Salient.
Of particular note, although not so clear in this 2D video, is the current undulating nature of the preserved Hill 60 site. It is full of concrete bunkers but also vast areas of mine and artillery craters.
No doubt, Hill 60 was both an important location to hold militarily but a damned awful place to hold and live.
Corrections to commentary:
1. I keep saying Hill 62!! This is Hill 60.
2. I have been advised by Simon (Belgium) that the large above ground bunker seen in this video is Aussie made not German.

British trenches & tunnels at Sanctuary Wood, Belgium
Filmed by Maxim Walker, aged 12, in May 2017.
Belgium travel tip : Bayernwald Trenches - Ypres - Belgium Visiting Flanders #Belgium
Bayernwald Trenches
Croonaert Wood was one of the sites used by German units to defend the area around the Ypres Salient. The Germans built a defensive complex of trenches, dugouts and bunkers on the slightly elevated landscape, from which artillery observers had an excellent view of the ground around Wijtschate and Ypres. The location was called Bayernwald by German soldiers due to the fact that the first German soldiers to be stationed there were from Bavaria (Bayern in German).
The area was the site of extensive mining activity by both German and British units during the war. Before the Battle of Messines, the tunnelling companies of the Royal Engineers placed a large mine around the German strongpoint Günther, not far from the Bayernwald trenches.
Thank You for watching !!
