What to do in Hulst
Gastronomic Hulst
Hulst is known for a bonhomie more easily associated with our southern neighbours. Hardly surprising, since the Belgian border is just a stone’s throw away. Hulst is a town for foodies and bon viveurs. The centre of town has a whole host of restaurants and bars where you can enjoy a scrumptious breakfast, lunch or dinner. Or sample one of the beers from Hulst-based Vermeersen Brewery at the city's bars and restaurants!
The Verdronken Land van Saeftinghe
Close to Hulst is the nature reserve of the Verdronken Land van Saeftinghe (literally the ‘drowned land of Saeftinghe’). With its salt marshes, this nature reserve is the largest of its kind in Europe. A visit to the area will give you a good idea of how nature responds to the rhythm of the tides, the influence of the sea and the Schelde river.
