Novus Portus - Nieuwpoort Marina

Highlight • Structure

The construction of the Novus Portus dock between 1974 and 1979 made the Nieuwpoort marina the largest in Northern Europe with approximately 2,000 berths. The dock provides space for VVW Nieuwpoort and the Water Sports Circle of the Air Force (WSKLuM). They take care of the management of the marina. Future expansion plans include approximately 700 additional berths, a new bridge with the city center and the realization of a residential waterfront.

Frontzate Railway Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Straight gravel road that connects an old railway line Nieuwpoort and Diksmuide. Important place during WWI. Fine gravel, so certainly possible with the regular bike and even a racing bike is not impossible.

Koolhofput Nature Reserve

Highlight • Lake

The De Koolhofput nature reserve is the ideal place for hikers, nature lovers, anglers and a stopping point for cyclists. This spot is accessible via the Frontzate bicycle connection between Nieuwpoort and Diksmuide.

The Frontzate is an old railway that now serves as a walking and cycling route. Along the way you will encounter war relics.

Tip! Bring your picnic and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Leaning Tower of Pervijze

Highlight • Monument

At this location you can get acquainted with an old observation post of the Belgian army. The observation post was built on the foundations of the old rectory tower. How many storms will this tower be able to withstand? It looks like he could fall over at any moment. In the shadow of the tower you can observe the different construction phase 😜.

View of the Koning Albert I Monument

Highlight • Monument

If you cycle through West Flanders, you will inevitably come across remnants of the First World War, known in Flanders as the "Great War". The Museum Westfront Nieuwpoort tells how the Belgians flooded the polder plain to stop the German invasion. Take your time for this fascinating piece of history. In any case, climb to the King Albert I monument to get an impression of the extent of the flood.

King Albert I Monument (Westfront Nieuwpoort)

Highlight • Monument

The King Albert I Monument in Nieuwpoort was erected in 1938 in honour of King Albert I and the Belgian troops during the First World War. The monument, designed by Julien de Ridder, is circular with a diameter of 30 metres and consists of twenty columns made of brick from the IJzer valley. In the centre is an equestrian statue of King Albert I, made by sculptor Karel Aubroeck. On top of the ring beam is a walkway with orientation tables that offer a beautiful view over the IJzer plain. Below the monument is the interactive visitor centre Westfront Nieuwpoort, which tells the story of the flooding of the polder plain in 1914.
