    The Uitkerkse Polder is a nature reserve for many birds. During a walk in the polders you can observe different types of ducks and goose, but also herons and the more rare godwits. It is an ideal place for bird spotting if you bring along binoculars or a good telelens. You can reach the Uitkerkse Polder by car and park it on the car park near the visitors’ center. A walk of approximately 8 km takes you to the different corners of the nature reserve and allows you to see different types of birds. At the visitors’ center you can find more information about the birds that breed in this area or that stay here over the winter time. They also serve hot and cold drinks and simple things to eat.

    A little paradise, green surroundings and people with a heart for nature. Very democratic prices. Make a walk in the countryside

    Good place for a walk between the fields and around the domain. The area has multiple owl species, bearded reedling and many wading birds to see.

    This is s paradise for bird watchers and photographers. I really enjoy this place. The staff members working in the information point and cafe at the entrance are very helpful.

    Good area to watch the birds, with a nice café with 'eco' options to drink. Only the large amount of asphalt roads in the vicinity is a shame.

  • 1/5 Andrei C. 11 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    This is not a hiking place, there are no trails, just asphalt roads. It's probably fantastic for bird watching and bicycle trips, but it's horrible for hikes. You're stuck walking on paved roads surrounded by barbed wire fences.

    (Translated by Google) It was really nice but nothing special when you come from the Rhineland. Wouldn't go there again. But certainly very nice for hikers (Original) Es war zwar ganz schön aber wenn man aus dem Rheinland kommt nichts besonderes. Würde nicht nochmal dort hin fahren. Für Wanderer aber sicher sehr schön

  • 1/5 Luc V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Do not understand that NATUURPUNT map out such a walk (the green of 4.8 km) !! ?? You had to constantly move sideways in the grass verges (to almost even jump sideways!) For bicycle and car traffic !! NO ..... really NOT recommended !! We are not used to this with the walks from NATUURPUNT! (Original) Begrijp niet dat NATUURPUNT een dergelijke wandeling (de groene van 4,8 km) uitstippelen!!?? Je moest constant opzij gaan in de grasberm (tot zelfs bijna opzij SPRINGEN!) voor het fiets- en autoverkeer!! NEEN.....echt GEEN aanrader!! Wij zijn dit niet gewoon met de wandelingen van NATUURPUNT!

    Historical wetland area. Wetland untouched for about 1000 years, a lot of pits within. Nowadays there is a growing concern about climate change, rainwater (freshwater) decrease, more ocean water from underground make water more saline (brackish), this affect birds, and cow keepers around. Experts believe that a urgent action is needed to stop climate change in order to save this important wetland.

  • 3/5 Thijs van s. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice environment but the walk is almost entirely along paved roads where quite a lot of cyclists and cars drive. It was not really relaxed walking. The visitor center is worthwhile. (Original) Zeer mooie omgeving maar de wandeling is bijna volledig langs verharde wegen waar vrij veel fietsers en wagens rijden. Echt ontspannen wandelen was het niet. Het bezoekerscentrum is wel de moeite.

  • 4/5 Jacob L. 3 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) Nice piece of nature but the walk suitable for wheelchairs and prams is still a lot on the public road without footpath. (Original) Mooi stukje natuur maar de wandeling geschikt voor rolstoelen en kinderwagens gaat toch veel over de openbare weg zonder voetpad.

    (Translated by Google) an oasis of peace, a piece of nature close to the coast. This European Natura 2000 nature reserve of 1400 ha is located between Blankenberge, Wenduine, Nieuwmunster and Zuienkerke, in the province of West Flanders. In the meantime, Natuurpunt already manages 650 hectares of meadow bird sanctuary here. It is the most important meadow bird area in Flanders. Enjoy this attraction for many rare birds in both summer and winter! (Original) een oase van rust, een stukje natuur dicht bij de kust.

Intussen beheert Natuurpunt hier al 650 ha weide vogelreservaat. Het is het belangrijkste weide vogelgebied van Vlaanderen. Geniet zowel in de zomer als in de winter van deze trekpleister voor vele zeldzame vogels!
