The name of this path refers to the writer Marguerite Yourcenar. Her internationally known novel (The Hermetic Black) is partly set in the dunes near the Zwin. Until the end of the 19th century, this dune, forest and meadow area was still in constant evolution due to the influence of the sea. It looked like the current Zwin with mudflats, salt marshes and gullies.

The interplay of ebb and flow in the Zwin creates an exceptional habitat in Europe, a tidal area consisting of mudflats and salt marshes. Only highly specialized plants, such as samphire and sea lavender, survive in this unique saltwater habitat. The mudflats provide a rich and varied food source for thousands of birds. It's no wonder the Zwin is described as an international airport for exotic birds! These birds are present in large numbers year-round to breed, overwinter, or forage for food.
