    In the 13th century, the historic Counts' Canal was dug to create a direct waterway for trade between Bruges and the coast. This created a unique landscape of dunes and polders. Today, these narrow strips of dunes form a green oasis between the N34 coastal road and the sea.

    The special mix of fresh and salt water – so-called brackish water – has created a valuable habitat for rare plant and animal species. The De Fonteintjes nature reserve is managed by Natuurpunt and is an important refuge for amphibians, breeding birds, and rare plants.

      Beautiful nature area that stretches between Blankenberge and Zeebrugge, nice to walk through. In wet weather boots are recommended because then the often narrow paths are muddy.
