Hiking

The Flemish nature reserve De Westhoek covers almost 350 hectares. De Westhoek was designated a protected landscape in 1935. In 1957, it was the very first Flemish nature reserve to receive state nature reserve status. Together with the adjacent Calmeynbos and the Krakeelduinen, the Oosthoekduinen, and the French dunes of Le Perroquet, De Westhoek forms the largest contiguous dune massif on our coast. De Westhoek is part of the diverse and extensive Dunes and Forests of De Panne.
