General information about Hoge Blekker - Doornpanne
Hoge Blekker - Doornpanne are actually two different things. The "Hoge Blekker" is the highest dune on the Belgian Coast (with a "staggering" height of no less than... 33 meters! 😉 ) and "Doornpanne" is an adjacent nature reserve. The "Hoge Blekker" is also popularly called the "blink map": after all, the largely bare dune shines on the horizon.
