Description
Go cycling on the Belgian coast and enjoy nature at Koksijde-Bad. The municipality is known for its location in the middle of the dunes, so prepare for beautiful views over the water. But the De Hoge Blekker nature reserve is also more than worth it. This beautiful dune complex has a characteristic horseshoe shape. The arms of the parabolic thumbs clearly indicate the prevailing wind direction. At the foot of it are dune fields, which are protected from drifting sand by rows of bushes. A number of special fungi occur between the semi-drift dunes, including the dune fringed cap. Open drift dune patches alternate with shrubs, wild privet and monostylar hawthorn. Marram grass is also common.
Diksmuide is a city known as the"Butter City\\\". A flourishing dairy trade was one of the most important pillars of prosperity in Diksmuide for centuries and the municipality has a mainly agricultural character. Diksmuide only really gained fame during their strategic contribution during the First World War. Diksmuide fought hard in the Battle of the Yser. A notorious trench complex is the Trench of Death, which was one of the most dangerous positions of the Belgian army. The Yser Tower, which was built after the war, first houses the fallen Flemish soldiers and serves as a peace monument. Veurne has a very different character as a regional center for the west coast. This typical Belgian provincial town is known for its farmer's pâté as a guaranteed traditional specialty. Try a sandwich at the Grote Markt, where you can also find the former town hall, a country house, a belfry and the St. Walburg Church.
