    Tips

    The Hors is a vast beach and dune area that is still growing. Therein lie two lakes, the De Horsmeertjes. Between the lakes there is a nice resting place, or viewpoint overlooking the smaller lake.

        In the spring this area is flooded and many breeding birds can be found. Some paths to the beach that are indicated on the map are not walkable because of the water and the birds.
