Cadzand-Bad Beach

Highlight • Beach

The beach is really very beautiful, but Cadzand itself is unfortunately very heavily paved with large castles.
It's a shame❗️

Cadzand-Bad Marina

Highlight • Structure

Beautiful small marina. On the east side of the harbor, a nice "grandstand" has been built where you can enjoy the view for a while.

Beach

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

Drainage canal near Cadzand-Bad

Highlight • River

The drainage channels ensure - the name says it all - the drainage of the water from the polder. Essential for dry feet. There is a path along which you have a beautiful view.

Retranchement post mill

Highlight • Monument

Come and discover the past of a turbulent battle and time for yourself.

Retranchement is now mainly an agricultural community. Two seventeenth-century monuments also deserve to be mentioned: a post mill and a hall church. The ramparts and moats are well preserved and now provide a home to rare plants and animals. A walking path now runs over a large part of the ramparts. Don't forget to visit Fort Nassau with its lookout point.

The story of Janus Tamboer is very special (see highlight komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/5565796 )

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
