Description
Right on the Belgian-Dutch border in Waasland, a watchtower rises twenty meters high above a historic strip of "no man's land. Add to that the Waterwinbossen, the Stropersbos and a touch of war history, and you get an absolute top hike.
The Niemandsland walking route is offered to you by Routen, an initiative of Tourism East Flanders.

Sunday, February 8, 2026 by Christophe Van VaerenberghVery nice walk, mainly on Dutch territory. Two minor drawbacks: the start of the walk is difficult to find; go to the sports field near a bike path (leave Bareel 37 on your right and walk through the green posts). On the bike path, turn right until you reach the edge of the forest at no. 78. The signage in the Netherlands is not ideal; bring your cell phone!

Sunday, February 2, 2025 by Herman Van den ReeckA very nice walk in the border region around Hulst with lots of forest, creeks and mainly unpaved trails. Nice café 'de oude statie' near the starting point. A bit difficult to find parking on a sunny Sunday. The cyclist is king here.

Friday, December 27, 2024 by Sven Van Landeghem Very nice walk! Departure and end near "the old station" where you can eat or drink something. The watchtower is a must!

Saturday, May 27, 2023 by E.P.I did not walk the whole route, from 70 I walked to 96. This is a beautiful route, going through the woods a lot, highly recommended! I will also definitely walk the whole route again. 2 tips: 1) Between 92 and 62 is still junction 91. 2) You often pass the border between NL and B. That's why the signs change (B red white, NL much smaller green yellow).
