Your route starts at Het Polderhuis, museums & more. From Het Polderhuis you first walk along the creek, a remnant of the bombing of the dike in 1944. Then you cross the road and walk through the Westkappelse forest to the hamlet of Boudewijnskerke. Here you see a vliedberg, locally called'the mountain of Buis\\\'. These man-made refuges several meters high were created as a safe haven for when the sea claimed back the land. A nice walking path runs along field edges, this is the Buiskerk church path. You will find more information about this on site. Then you walk back towards the sea. After a nice dune walk you will soon see Westkapelle again. Coffee with an apple round at Het Polderhuis tastes delicious after such a long walk!
