Hulst Attractions

The old fortified town of Hulst lies in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen (Zealand Flanders) to the south of the Westerschelde. Its medieval walls, which were strengthened in the 17th century, have a total circuit of 3.5km/2.25mi. Three old town gates - the Gentse Poort (1780), the Dubbele Poort (1771) and the Bollewerckpoort (1506) - still give access to the town center.

Drowned Land of Saeftinge

Northeast of Hulst lies the Verdronken Land van Saeftinge, the "Drowned Land of Saeftinge", an area engulfed by the sea 400 years ago which is now a nature reserve. It may be visited only on a conducted tour.
