Description

From the children's farm in Nieuwpoort, your walk begins. Follow the path leading to the bustling harbor, where fishing boats and yachts bob on the water. Continue along the promenade, enjoying the salty air and views of the town's maritime life. The route then takes you along the banks of the Ijzer river, a waterway steeped in history from World War I. As you follow the river, the landscape becomes more open and serene, offering a different perspective of the area's natural beauty. Your journey culminates at the impressive King Albert I Monument, a powerful tribute to the Belgian king and the soldiers who fought in the Great War. Here, you can reflect on the area's history and admire the monument's grand scale, marking a fitting end to your scenic coastal and historical walk.
