November 6, 2025,Wandeling Oostduinkerke Schipgat - Combi Schipgat-Kruwerswandeling - variante (tramstapper) 9/10

Two beautiful hikes (Schipgat and Kruwers) combined into your own unique version! A truly beautiful day in the dunes! 90% unpaved – sand, dune, and forest paths! The route can easily be shortened and/or extended. Highly recommended.
