Frontzate Railway Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Straight gravel road that connects an old railway line Nieuwpoort and Diksmuide. Important place during WWI. Fine gravel, so certainly possible with the regular bike and even a racing bike is not impossible.

Nieuwpoort–Duinkerke Canal Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It is nice to see the roadside grazers, sheep here, grazing freely, in small herds. They are also not afraid of people at all.

Veurne Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

If you go inland from the coast, you will discover a piece of authentic Westhoek: 'Bachten de Kupe'. Be sure to visit the Vaderland visitor center here. Beauvoorde, just a stone's throw away, beckons with a castle, poetry and... pancakes.

Highlight • River

Near Nieuwpoort, the Yser flows directly into the sea. Where salt and fresh water meet, a special biotope has developed with mud flats, salt marshes, dunes, beaches and polders. Thanks …

Old Marina

Upstream from the fishing port of Nieuwpoort is the “Euro Marina”. The three yacht clubs manage around 2,000 berths. Nieuwpoort thus has the largest marina in Northern Europe.

West Coast - Stairs from Bath to Bath - Day 4/8

The West Coast leans against the Westhoek. And so the Westhoek has its own beach. Each coastal municipality may be unique, but they all share that charming Westhoek feeling.
