Description

It is wonderful to make some kilometers along the coastline from Blankenberge to Ostend, to get a breath of fresh air and enjoy the beautiful views over the sea. Ostend's history goes back to the ninth century, when the first traces of habitation are found. Fishermen lived off what the sea had to offer them and shepherds herded their animals across the fields. In 814, the then tiny village was donated to the abbey of Sint-Bertinus in Sint-Omaars, but in 1267 the town of Ostend received its own city rights. Nevertheless, Ostend had no walls, fortresses or bulwarks to ward off enemies. In 1372 the city was fortified with palisades, but eventually the town lost to an indestructible enemy and residents had to give up a large part of Ostend to constant flooding and heavy storms. After a last, major flood, the city was largely moved in 1447 and Ostend came to lie further away from the sea. Camping Dallas forms the start and end point of this cycle route. It is a nice location to stay for a night, so close to the sea. With the sound of the surf you fall asleep and get up again and camp here in comfort and luxury. After your bike ride you can pamper your muscles with the warmth of a sauna or enjoy a bubble bath in the jacuzzi. Cycle route 142640 also leads from the campsite through the area, so you can enjoy a wonderful cycling holiday.
