Dune landscape at De Fonteintjes
Highlight • Natural
De Fonteintjes is characterized by a diverse landscape: freshwater dune lakes, wet dune grasslands, and dense dune scrub. It's remarkable that these dune valleys were artificially created in the 15th century and have evolved into natural habitats over time. The freshwater lakes are located only about 100 meters from the sea—a rare phenomenon made possible by a freshwater lens beneath the dunes.

Kerkstraattrap (Leeuwetrap) – Lion Staircase Blankenberge
Highlight • Monument
The Kerkstraattrap, also called Leeuwetrap, was built in 1899 (previously made of wood) and probably designed by E. Hellemans (Brussels). It connects the Zeedijk with the Kerkstraat. The straight, bluestone staircase was originally decorated with four cast-iron columns (see Bakkerstraattrap) on the second and third intermediate landings.
The current staircase has intermediate landings and railings on both sides, decorated with balusters at the steps. The overall appearance is characterized by pedestals with ornate upholstery and topped with spherical vases. The lions on the pedestals at the foot of the stairs are particularly striking. A double aluminum handrail is located in the middle of the stairs.

Statue of Lippens and De Bruyne
Highlight • Monument
Joseph Lippens and Henri De Bruyne were officers in the army of King Leopold II. Lippens was born in Brussels in 1855, and De Bruyne in 1868 in the Belgian seaside resort of Blankenberge. Their names would probably have been long forgotten if a memorial on Blankenberge's beach promenade hadn't commemorated them both.
Lippens and De Bruyne were honored because they fell into the hands of Arab slave traders in the Congo and were killed by them on December 1, 1892.
The monument, inaugurated on September 9, 1900, was donated by a committee of Congo veterans and created by the Brussels sculptor Guillaume Charlier.
