Tips

🇧🇪 Herwig Aertbeliën

The Zwin is a protected nature reserve, a true paradise for fauna and flora.

Before you start your adventure, take a look at the exhibition space.
Your Zwin experience starts here.

Hiking trails take you along the hut trail. The information in the cabins makes your visit a total experience. Take your time and enjoy the beautiful views in the hides.
Every season has different protagonists here.
Tip: plan a visit during school holidays or at weekends, then guides will be happy to give you a word of explanation along the hut trail.

A round of salt marshes completes the total experience.
Advice: wearing waterproof footwear is recommended.

This tidal landscape with mudflats and salt marshes is a favourite destination for many birds and is therefore sometimes referred to as the international airport for birds.
