De Haan is the village on the Belgian coast that was saved from the apartment blocks. Its Concessie quarter is an early 20th-century stage set: Anglo-Norman style villas with timber framing, coloured roofs and gardens, scattered along curving streets among the dunes. Albert Einstein stayed in De Haan, and the tourist office remembers him on its routes.
The walk
Get off the tram at the De Haan stop, next to the tourist office, and follow the heritage route that crosses the Concessie to the seafront promenade. There are more than 100 km of walking and cycling routes through the woods and dunes around.
