Looking to catch a refreshing sea breeze? Out to enjoy one of the
last coastal stretches of unspoilt natural beauty? Or just gearing
up for the walk of a lifetime? Then prepare to descend on the Zwin.
Its luxuriant vegetation provides a permanent natural habitat or
temporary breeding grounds for rare bird species which can be
observed only here.

The Zwin is a magnificent nature park on the border between Belgium
and the Netherlands. At high tide the mudflats and salt marshes are
entirely or partially flooded by the sea, which is what makes this
intertidal area so unique. In this manner a very special biotope for
numerous birds and plants is created. Thousands of birds come to the
Zwin every year to breed, hibernate or look for food.

The Zwin is also a dream for plant lovers. Numerous unique plants feel
right at home in this nature park. Thanks to the permanent influence
of the salty water, the Zwin boasts certain species that can barely be
found elsewhere along the Belgian coast.

From the top of the promenade, you have a beautiful view over the pools, ditches, mud flats and salt marshes of the extensive nature reserve Zwin. In the former Royal Residence you can enjoy an exhibition. There is also a cafetaria.
