    Hiking

    History of the Schipgat Dunes: This dune area is relatively young, having formed around 2,000 years ago. The dunes shield a deep hollow that is the relic of a creek, literally a "Schipgat" (ship hole).
    Shrimp fishermen used the Schipgat to pick the water for centuries.

    This work is part of the permanent Beaufort Sculpture Park, which includes around fifty works of art spread across the entire Belgian coastline.
