Learn to know the local traditions at this typical Flemish fair. Typically organised mid June.
Between De Haan and Wenduine, the two nature reserves Duinbossen and De Zandpanne allow for a good hike.
The tram station is much photographed. The name of the station De Haan aan Zee literally means the rooster by the sea. Between the tram tracks is a historical sign saying "don't step on the tracks" in Dutch on one side and in French on the other. The coastal tram used to be part of a much larger network of cross-country trams (known as the Vicinal in French and the Buurttram in Dutch) of which very little remains in operation today.
Wooded dunes
This unusual woodland stretching from Vosseslag to Wenduine. The nature reserves 'De Zandpanne' and 'De Kijkuit' are situated in or next to the 'Duinbossen'. Several paths allow walkers to cross the terrain. Maybe you can spot one of the galloway cows grazing between Wenduine and Zwarte Kiezel.
Scroll around the small park in the center of De Haan. Ideal leisure activity with kids: there is a playground, a midget golf and a lot of benches to see the kids cycling around.
