Gravel riding
On this winding gravel path, you will discover a special piece of the past and nature at Fort Sint-Jacob.
This historic fort is part of the impressive Staats-Spaanse Linies and was strategically located between Fort Sint-Joseph and Fort Sint-Livinus, as part of the Line of Communication between Hulst and Sas van Gent. Here you can still feel the traces of the Eighty Years' War, when the fort was constructed in 1634 to protect the hinterland from invasions. Only a few years later, it fell into other hands, making the story of this place all the more captivating.
