The Nightingale

The Nightingale is a visitor and nature education center located in the municipality of De Panne at the far west of the Belgian North Sea coast. About one third of the Belgian dune landscape is situated in the municipality. The ecologically valuable areas include De Westhoek, with its more than 500 plant species, and Oosthoekduinen, which are also designated nature reserves. Additionally, there are the Krakeelduinen, Houtsaegerduinen, and the dune forests Kerkepannebos and Calmeynbos. In Adinkerke, there are the 5000-year-old fossil dunes, the Cabourduinen. The nature museum and visitor center De Nachtegaal is located between the dune forest Calmeynbos and the reserve Oosthoek.
The visitor center offers a small natural history museum in its building with a variety of exhibits and instructive multilingual explanations and diagrams on the dynamics and geology of the natural area of the North Sea coast, the near-coastal sea and its inhabitants, as well as on the flora and fauna of the beach, young dune belt, old dunes, dune forests, their human use and nature conservation.
