De Panne is a breath of fresh air. We have many square kilometres of dunes and trees where you can go walking and get back to nature. A short stroll or a hefty hike? Explore our unique nature reserves at your own pace.
Step one: a walking route
Reservations for Westhoek nature reserve? No need. But we do advise downloading your walking route. Our routes show you the diversity of our local nature in all its glory. Dust off your walking shoes, grab your birdspotting guide, and – voilà – you are ready to set off.
