    Hiking

    The Zwin with its unique character, due to the regular flooding from the sea, can be seen very well from this platform. This tidal landscape with mudflats and salt marshes is a favourite destination for many birds and is therefore called the international airport for birds.

    Hiking

    The interplay of ebb and flow in the Zwin creates an exceptional habitat in Europe, a tidal area consisting of mudflats and salt marshes. Only highly specialized plants, such as samphire and sea lavender, survive in this unique saltwater habitat.

    The mudflats provide a rich and varied food source for thousands of birds. It's no wonder the Zwin is described as an international airport for exotic birds! These birds are present in large numbers year-round to breed, overwinter, or forage for food.
