    Hiking

    The State-Spanish forts (or the few remains of them) remind you that the 80 Years' War (between the Netherlands and the Spanish rulers) once raged here.

    Gravel riding

    On this elevated gravel path, you'll 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 against invasions. Just a few years later, it fell into other hands, making the story of this place all the more captivating.
