Tips

Hiking

The ramparts and canals have been well preserved and are now home to rare plants and animals. A walking path now leads over a large part of the ramparts.
Enjoy the beautiful views of the Retranchement and its surroundings.

Hiking

As in Sluis, only the rampart and moat are preserved in Retranchement from the former fortification.

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.
