Zwin Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The cycle path runs parallel to the Zwin Nature Park. The landscape, which is shaped by the tides, is an eye-catcher. It gets even more exciting when you pay attention to the numerous birds that pay a flying visit to the Zwin or even breed here.

Further information can be found on the nature park's website: zwin.be

View of Cadzand-Bad from the Het Zwin Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Zwin, whether it is Belgian or Dutch, does not matter, it is a beautiful nature reserve.
The Zwin is a slufter: a beach area behind the dunes that is in open connection with the sea. Directly behind the channel mouth is a sandy beach, further inwards there are dunes and salt marshes. Behind the row of dunes lie two small polders, the Kievittepolder and the Oudelandsepolder.

The Zwin

Highlight • Natural Monument

The "Het Zwin" nature reserve stretches from the dikes of Knokke to the Dutch municipality of Sluis. It is one of the most beautiful natural pearls in Belgium. In May and June, the storks are the queens of the show! The reserve is home to many species of birds.
