Flood plain of the Yser
At regular intervals, the Ijzer overflows its banks. If it freezes for a few more days, you can photograph beautiful winter landscapes or even skaters! Viewpoints are the meadows between Noordschote and Reninge, Roesbrugge and the bridge over the Ijzer near Elzendamme.
Tip: Flooding can lead to dangerous situations. Do not needlessly endanger your fellow human beings, yourself or animals. Disaster tourism does not necessarily have to be labeled as "bad," but always make sure that you do not hinder or inconvenience either the local residents or the emergency services.
