브뤼헤‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

The Zandpanne Nature Reserve is a valuable dune area between Wenduine and De Haan, known for its variety of dune forests, open dunes and moist dune valleys.

On the coast's second-highest dune (31 m) stands a small white pavilion with a red roof: the Spioenkop. It offers a magnificent panorama of the polder landscape beyond, the wooded surroundings, and the coastal plain. At the foot of the dune lies the Rotonde, the place to be for sunbathers, anglers, pétanque players, and children.

One of the most beautiful routes on the Belgian coast ;-)

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

The Dune Forests of De Haan are one of the green pearls on the coast. The area consists of three parts and is 152 hectares in size. From west to east, these are the Dune Forests of Klemskerke, Vlissegem and Wenduine. The nature reserves De Zandpanne and De Kijkuit are connected to this, both managed by Natuurpunt. This creates a large and varied dune area with forest, dune scrub and dune grasslands.

In the 13th and 14th centuries, this inlet—'t Zwyn—was a major waterway to Bruges. This waterway was created after the sea encroached deeply on the land around the beginning of the Common Era. The cities of Bruges, Damme, and Sluis were situated on the Zwin and became thriving trading centers. However, the channel became increasingly shallow and eventually unnavigable. Therefore, the Zwin was later largely reclaimed. Nature then took over. Source: https://www.hetzeeuwselandschap.nl/natuurgebieden/het-zwin

The Zwin is a tidal flat: a beach plain behind the dunes that is openly connected to the sea. Immediately behind the estuary lies a sandy beach, further inland lie dunes and salt marshes. Behind the dune range lie two small polders, managed by the Zeeuwse Landschap: the Kievittepolder and the Oudelandsepolder. In the Zwinweide, once a side channel of the Zwin, there is a highly diverse area where freshwater and saltwater alternate within a short distance. Thanks to the alternation between wet and dry, saltwater and freshwater, and clay and sand, the entire area boasts a wide variety of vegetation and birdlife.

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
