About this school trip

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your pupils to Zwin Nature Park near Knokke-Heist, an 'international airport for birds'. Here birds take off and land, sometimes in their thousands. The mudflats and salt marshes attract waders, which stop here to feed and rest during their migration. The Zwin is one of the most important places in Belgium for migrating and overwintering waders.

There are guided walks for primary schools and a varied programme for secondary schools as well. You can also explore the park independently with your class. In autumn, visitors can also watch scientific bird ringing and learn how migration works. It is a wonderful lesson in nature, biology and wetlands, right in the landscape itself.

We recommend clothing that can cope with wind and weather. ITS-Reizen takes your class to the Belgian coast and back in a comfortable, safe coach, so that you and your pupils can focus fully on the birds.
