Het Zwin Nature Reserve

Just across the Belgian border lies Het Zwin, a unique nature reserve and true bird paradise. This coastal lagoon features dunes, salt pans, and marshes and is known as the “international airport for birds”.

Migratory birds use the area as a resting place on their journey north or south. You can spot species such as storks, cormorants, and kestrels.

There are several walking and cycling routes with viewpoints for birdwatching. Waterproof shoes or boots are recommended.
