Zwin Natuur Park

The Zwin Nature Park extends over 158 hectares along the coast, featuring salt marshes, mud flats, and dunes that create habitats for numerous species.

The area represents the final remains of a medieval waterway that connected the North Sea to the port city of Bruges during the Middle Ages.

The nature park functions as an educational center where visitors learn about coastal ecosystems and participate in scientific bird monitoring programs.

The park welcomes visitors from Wednesday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.

The daily tidal movements create a saltwater biotope where specific plants like marsh samphire grow and migratory birds gather for feeding.
