Visit the main attractions

knokke


Knokke-Heist hotels draws thousands of tourists round the year. Be it the splendid sandy beaches, historic landmarks or the stunning countryside scene, Knokke offers something for every one. Situated in the North Eastern coast of Belgium, very near to the Dutch border, hotel Knokke-Heist, is the best choice if you are looking for a beautiful coastal holiday. Barcelona highlights include beaches too but beaches in Knokke has a charm of its own. I prefer to spend most of the time in Knokke beaches. Here you will be able to enjoy a number of activities along with swimming and sunbathing. The best attractions are the watersports such as surfboarding, windsurfing, beach volleyball and waterskiing. Besides, there a number of options for seafood lovers.

The first highlight to be visited while staying in hotels Knokke-Heist is The Zwin Natural Reserve. It is one of the finest natural reserve that I have ever visited. It is this reserve that separates Knokke and Dutch territory. You will be mesmerised to find this place brimming with rich vegetation, aquatic life as well as various sea birds. If you want to visit Zwin while staying in hôtels Knokke-Heist, make sure that you find out some information about the guided walks that are organised. One such obsevation tour is known as the 'silent walk' for listening to the sounds of the wildlife area. Trust me this can be realy interesting.

There is another beautiful place for nature lovers, The Butterfly Garden in the Zoute area. Hotels in Knokke-Heist situated near this area offer guided tour and it can be excellent way to pass off you afternoon. During my stay in hotel Knokke-Heist I visited this garden twice as I love to watch the wide varieties of attractive butterflies that fly around the tropical gardens in a climate controlled greenhouse. This natural habitat is very bright and colourful and preserves species from continents such as Asia, Africa and America. Things to see in Paris won't seem apealing infront of these natural ecosystems.

A visit to the windmills of Knokke is a must while vacationing in hotel Knokke-Heist. Both the Het Zoute and Het Kalf will give an opputunity to step back in time and relive the 18th century Belgium. Other attractions that you can visit from hotels in Knokke-Heist is Saint Margaret Church, which stands in the heart of the old city and houses some of the beautiful and historic art work and the Town Hall.
