    Hiking

    In the 13th century, the historic Grafenkanal was dug to create a direct waterway for trade between Bruges and the coast. This resulted in a unique landscape of dunes and polders. Today, these narrow strips of dunes form a green oasis between the N34 coastal road and the sea.

    The special mixture of fresh and salt water – known as brackish water – has created a valuable habitat for rare plant and animal species. The De Fonteintjes nature reserve is managed by Natuurpunt and is an important refuge for amphibians, breeding birds, and rare plants.

    Hiking

    Beautiful nature area that stretches between Blankenberge and Zeebrugge, nice to walk through. In wet weather boots are recommended because then the often narrow paths are muddy.
