Nieuwpoort Pier and Lighthouses

The IJzermonding nature reserve is a former naval port on the right bank of the IJzer. The concrete paths are still reminiscent of the military past. The viewing huts with a view of the Yser estuary make us believe that the bird population is doing well here.More info at verrassingenomdehoek.be/2016/06/08/ijzermondingwandeling

The IJzer is historically important because of the role it played during the First World War. The river formed a natural defense line and was the scene of fierce fighting. Today, you can find various monuments and memorials along the IJzer that commemorate this period, such as the IJzer monument at the Ganzepoot.
Here on the left bank of the IJzer estuary, the cycle route "cycling along the front line of the First World War" begins. (Nieuwpoort - Bazel)

The Nieuwpoort jetty, an absolute must-see!
