Description

Join one of our local certified guides for a day hike and discover the great natural diversity and landscapes of the Zwin Nature Park in Knokke-Heist, in the province of Flanders. This protected nature reserve is located on the North Sea coast, on the border between Belgium and the Netherlands.

A day hike in the Zwin Nature Park -also called Zwin Plain- is a wonderful way to explore the reserve’s fascinating world of birds and plants. The reserve has a total of 158 hectares: about three quarters (125 hectares) of the total area are on Belgian territory, and 33 hectares are situated on  Dutch territory.

Starting from Knokke-Heist, one of Belgium’s best known and most popular seaside resorts, we will wander through polders and dunes, enjoying the unique scenery of this area and we will be rewarded with a magnificent view over the Zwin plain. Along the way, we will also explore the Hazegras polder. 

The Zwin Nature Park is very popular among bird watchers and it is known for its wide variety of salt-resistant flora, such as marsh samphire and sea lavender. It is also one of the few places in the country with a population of white storks. We will tell you all the secrets about the uniqu flora of the area.

If you are looking for peace, quietness and open spaces near the Belgian coast, this proposal is what you were looking for. Just send us a request and join us for a great day hike around the Zwin Nature Park. If you’d like to check out more hiking options in the Belgian coast, just click here!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
