"Ter Yde" is the collective name for an extensive dune complex of 260 hectares along the Flemish coast. One can still find parabolic dunes (dune formed by the wind in a crescent shape (🌙) and drifts. Dunes are formed due to the movement of sand grains, which continuously change and move. There are also grasslands with mosses, a remnant of the former use as pasture In the open dune landscape, the meadow pipit is a typical breeding bird.
Several hiking trails traverse this natural gem with a wide variety of dune types. The ecological value of Ter Yde is therefore enormous.
