HEIST (KNOKKE-HEIST)
Heist, a sub-municipality of Knokke-Heist, is located between Zeebrugge and Duinbergen. Heist is located on the North Sea but has much more to offer besides beach and sea, namely it borders the nature reserve Baai van Heist to the west and to the south of that there are the nature reserves Sashul and Vuurtorenweiden. To the south of Heist is the West Flemish polder land with the Kleiputten van Heist, a remnant of the brick industry and now a beautiful nature reserve. The Isabellavaart also runs here. But on the east side, also on the side of the holiday apartment, is popularly known as ‘het bosje van Heist’, a park of no less than 19 ha. The Willemspark with southern dune forest and the northern dunes also has a pond with natural banks, the construction of a play landscape and the rabbit and mole path. In addition to sunbathing, building beach castles, swimming in the sea, walking on the beach or in one of the various nature reserves and cycling in the polder land, there is much more.
