Tips

The Hannecartbos was created on an area of grasslands and dune fields.
Not all 48 hectares of the area were forested. There is grassland on the northeastern edge, as well as on the southern edge, where a small zone of early medieval kopps dunes also occurs. Here and there the forest still shows park-like features, such as a wild lane with the trees neatly arranged. Some of the hedgerows that bordered the dune fields are also still recognizable. A watercourse runs diagonally through the area.
After purchase by the government and protection as a nature reserve, a drastic restoration program was drawn up for the forest. For example, dying trees are cut down on an area of six hectares to restore the original grasslands. The Shetland ponies are grazed in defined areas. The stream is being cleaned up and its course is regulated by weirs.

Super quiet place and super convenient to reach Oostduinkerke bad in Nieuwpoort Bad (and vice versa). This avoids the main coastal road, which is a little noisier and more dangerous with children on bicycles, for example.

Quiet gravel path through the forest with a rest bench halfway with a beautiful view.
