Upstream from the fishing port of Nieuwpoort is the “Euro Marina”. The three yacht clubs manage around 2,000 berths. Nieuwpoort thus has the largest marina in Northern Europe.

Frontzate Railway Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Straight gravel road that connects an old railway line Nieuwpoort and Diksmuide. Important place during WWI. Fine gravel, so certainly possible with the regular bike and even a racing bike is not impossible.

Leaning Tower of Pervijze

Highlight • Monument

At this location you can get acquainted with an old observation post of the Belgian army. The observation post was built on the foundations of the old rectory tower. How many storms will this tower be able to withstand? It looks like he could fall over at any moment. In the shadow of the tower you can observe the different construction phase 😜.

Veurne Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

If you go inland from the coast, you will discover a piece of authentic Westhoek: 'Bachten de Kupe'. Be sure to visit the Vaderland visitor center here. Beauvoorde, just a stone's throw away, beckons with a castle, poetry and... pancakes.
