Hiking
The ramparts and canals are well preserved and now accommodate rare plants and animals. A large part of the ramparts is now crossed by a walking path. Enjoy the beautiful views of Retranchement and its wide surroundings.

Hiking
The earthen walls around Retranchement were built in 1607, during the 80 years war (1568-1648), to protect the Zwin canal against the Spanish. The old ramparts have now been conquered by nature and constitute a lovely destination for a walk.
