Open polder landscape.
An open polder landscape of more than 1,400 ha stretches between Blankenberge and Zuienkerke. The area is one of the last open spaces on the Flemish Coast and gives a nice picture of what the coastal polders used to look like. Throughout the year, the Uitkerkse Polder is the ideal biotope for numerous bird species. Meadow birds find a suitable breeding place and thousands of freezing geese from the North come to hibernate. This walk mainly runs on traffic-calmed asphalt roads.
Good marking.
Mostly paved.
