It is nice to see the roadside grazers, sheep here, grazing freely, in small herds. They are also not afraid of people at all.

The Nieuwpoort-Dunkirk Canal or Veurnevaart is a canal that forms a connection between the Belgian coastal city of Nieuwpoort and the French port city of Dunkirk. The watercourse is an extension of the Plassendale-Nieuwpoort Canal, and continues almost parallel to the coastline, two to four kilometres from the sea.

The canal starts at the Ganzepoot in Nieuwpoort, at the IJzer estuary in Nieuwpoort, where it forms a connection between the IJzer, the North Sea and the Plassendale-Nieuwpoort Canal. After almost 19 kilometres on Belgian territory, the canal continues into France, past Brayduinen and Zuidkote. In Dunkirk, there is a new connection with the North Sea and the canal ends in connections with the Broekburgvaart and Havendijk canals.

Nice cycle path along the canal, a bit narrow.
