Waterway Through Open Landscape Near De Panne

Highlight • Cycleway

This quiet road near De Panne winds through a vast, open landscape with wide views over green fields and typical Flemish farmland. The paved road is flat and relaxed, ideal for a quiet bike ride or walk with plenty of opportunity to enjoy the silence and the surrounding nature.

Saint Sixtus Abbey of Westvleteren

Highlight • Religious Site

Unfortunately, you cannot visit the abbey and the brewery. The "Claustrum" is also currently closed. In this information room in the "In de Vrede" meeting center, directly opposite the abbey, the monks provide an insight into their monastic life.

You can't buy beer here. This is only possible after prior registration and order via the abbey's website.

But don't worry: you don't come for free! In the meeting center you can taste the "best beer in the world", because only here the Trappist beer from Westvleteren is served.

If you have a sweet tooth: try the "Coupe In de Vrede", prepared with delicious ice cream and Westvleteren Trappist.

In the shop you can buy Trappist cheese, Abbey cheese, Abbey pâté, Kruydekoecke, Hemnepot and many other regional specialties.

Fintele Bridge and Lock

Highlight • Bridge

Fintele: Hinge point (reception point) of two recreational axes (Lovaart and IJzer). Beautiful stopping point with various catering establishments (on the other side in Fintele De Witten and De Hooipiete and the other side of the Lovaart De Lisdodde) information and seating platform and bicycle shed with a view of the IJzer and Lovaart and the old summer bridge that was laid to the hay fields (the Hooipiete) as cultural-historical monument/work of art and view of the IJzerbroeken. Nice stopping point.

Winding Forest Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Indeed a nice and easy bike path. Although two directions and two cyclists can just pass each other, or ride next to each other.

Lovaart

Lake

48.2 km

Along the Lovaart

Highlight • River

A picturesque path runs along the Lovaart, bordered by green meadows and charming pollard willows that stand along the rippling water. The route offers peaceful views over the flat polder landscape, with historic farms and typical West Flemish fields on the horizon.

Veurne Marina

Highlight • Structure

This marina is quietly located on the edge of the historic city of Veurne. The bustling center is within walking distance and, in addition to the many sights, is home to numerous restaurants.

Veurne Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

If you go inland from the coast, you will discover a piece of authentic Westhoek: 'Bachten de Kupe'. Be sure to visit the Vaderland visitor center here. Beauvoorde, just a stone's throw away, beckons with a castle, poetry and... pancakes.
