Sheep pasture walk

The charming village of Beauvoorde serves as the starting point for three scenic walking trails ranging from 5 to 17 km. These walking routes, which traverse the areas of Beauvoorde, Bulskamp, and Houtem, combine recreational and cultural attractions with local heritage under the project title “3 Villages, 3 Walks.” The Schaapsvliet Walk, covering a distance of 17 km, is one of the options available to hikers.
Beauvoorde is nestled in a gently rolling landscape that offers views to the south over the IJzer plain to the West Flemish ridges and to the north over the flat polders around Bulskamp and Houtem to the dune belt. On the trails of the Schaapsvliet Walk to Bulskamp and the protected cultural-historical landscape of De Moeren, these panoramic views will undoubtedly delight the hiker.
The “3 Villages, 3 Walks” project introduces hikers to Dutch-language poems that complement the valuable heritage and exceptional landscape diversity along the walking route.
An ancient ditch behind Beauvoorde Castle is called Schaapsvliet and gave its name to this walk. This canal drains the northern side of the village centers of Wulveringem and Vinkem, which together form the village of Beauvoorde, toward the plain around Bulskamp.
