Welcome to De Hoge Blekker, with its 33 meters the highest dune in the entire Flemish coastal region. A striking appearance and an impressive eye-catcher. The dune used to be a fixed navigation point for sailors. From a distance they could see the white back as a kind of 'flash' ('bleach' is the local dialect for 'flash'). The Hoge Blekker is a drifting dune that has covered some distances over time. The dune now covers an area of approximately 33 hectares. Enough room for a picnic stop!

Allow me to introduce myself: the high blinker. At least that is its German name. The Hoge Blekker is the highest dune in the entire Belgian coastal region at 33 metres. It was a highly visible signal for sailors and they saw it blinking ("blekken") from afar.

It is one of those people like you, it loves to wander. As a stately wandering dune, it must have covered a great distance over time.
