The Coastal Walking Route is a network of paved and unpaved hiking trails between De Panne and Knokke-Heist. Thanks to this route, you can plan your own hiking route using signposted junctions. You can find all these points on a convenient overview map. It couldn't be easier!
With the Coastal Walking Route, you can enjoy dunes and polders, mudflats and salt marshes, sea and beach. But it's not just about nature: the route also offers a dive into our rich maritime past, our war history, or the Belle Époque era. And with the junctions, you can walk à la carte along the coast, making a different choice each time.
To plan your itinerary, you only need the map brochure. You can purchase it at one of our information offices. Of course, you can also order it online (in Dutch or French).
