The Biggekerke Forest is a small but charming nature area on the southern edge of Biggekerke, heading towards the dunes of Valkenisse. This young village forest of around 68 hectares offers a surprising variety within the open Zeeland landscape and is an ideal spot for those seeking peace, nature, and simplicity.
