Border post 277

Highlight • Monument

The border marker with the number 277 is close to KLINGSPOOR. The border is a common thread through the past and present of this border municipality and the other themes that are discussed at KLINGSPOOR.

The cast iron boundary posts can be found from Vaals to the Zwin in Knokke. The count goes from No. 1 to No. 369. In addition to a unique number, you will find the coats of arms of Belgium and the Netherlands on either side of the pole.

The current border goes back to the positions of the warring parties at the end of the Eighty Years' War in 1648. Only at the end of this war could Frederik Hendrik van Oranje recapture the city of Hulst from the Dutch. With the Treaty of Münster in 1648, the border between the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands and the Spanish Netherlands came to lie directly above De Klinge.

Niemandsland Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Balancing on the Belgian-Dutch border, with a panoramic view of the border area, stands a lookout tower of approximately 22 meters high. The tower symbolizes the connection between Zeeuws-Vlaanderen and the Waasland. Look left, right, forward, backward. Wherever you stand, you have a phenomenal view of the Netherlands and Flanders. Spread over five floors, you will receive information about the nature, the agricultural character and the history of the area.

Steep Hill Hulst

Highlight • Climb

artificial steep hill.... becomes more difficult since the singletrack towards the climb is most of the times muddy and corners .so not easy to develop speed
