슬루이스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

Very beautiful vast nature reserve very close to beach and sea. Walking, running, cycling, horse riding...

In the 13th and 14th centuries, this sea arm - ’t Zwyn - was an important waterway to Bruges. This waterway was created after the sea had penetrated the land around the beginning of the Christian era. The cities of Bruges, Damme and Sluis were located on the Zwin and became flourishing trading centres. But the channel became increasingly shallow and eventually unnavigable. That is why the Zwin was later largely poldered. Nature then took over here. Source: https://www.hetzeeuwselandschap.nl/natuurgebieden/het-zwin

The Zwin is a slufter: a beach plain behind the dunes that is in open connection with the sea. Directly behind the gully mouth lies a sandy beach, further inward lie dunes and salt marshes. Behind the row of dunes lie two small polders, which are managed by the Zeeuwse Landschap: the Kievittepolder and the Oudelandsepolder. In the Zwinweide, once a side channel of the Zwin, is a very varied area where fresh and salt alternate at a short distance. Thanks to the alternation between wet and dry, salt and fresh, and clay and sand, the entire area has a great variety in vegetation and birds.

Great scenery, unpaved bike paths.

The Zwin, whether it is Belgian or Dutch, does not matter, it is a beautiful nature reserve. The Zwin is a slufter: a beach plain behind the dunes that is in open connection with the sea. Directly behind the gully mouth lies a sandy beach, further inward lie dunes and salt marshes. Behind the row of dunes lie two small polders, the Kievittepolder and the Oudelandsepolder.

The cycle path runs parallel to the Zwin Nature Park. The landscape, which is shaped by the tides, is an eye-catcher. It gets even more exciting when you pay attention to the numerous birds that pay a flying visit to the Zwin or even breed here. Further information can be found on the nature park's website: www.zwin.be

Delicious segment where you can get a breath of fresh air and wave to ships.
