The hopping hare that you can find in the dunes at the end of the sea wall of Knokke is a bronze sculpture by Barry Flanagan. Although the official name is Hospitality, the hare is also called keuning van’t Zwin, Bugs Bunny or t' keun by the locals.

Nice work of art that is visible from afar in the dune landscape. Selfies are taken here galore.

Knokke-Heist is an art city with works spread all over the city - even here on the Zwin. A bronze hare gallops over the dyke and is said to stand for the hospitality of the bathing resort. Here he is called "keuning van't Zwin", meaning "King of the Zwin".
