The town and holiday resort of Knokke-Heist, Belgium, is located in West Flanders, 20 km (13mi) from Bruges. As the seaside resort it offers long sandy beaches and hotels, cafés and restaurants along the coastline but it is attractive due to interesting museums, such as the Sincfala Museum in Heist and the Friet Museum, as well as historic sites e.g. Rumbeke Chateau or Wijnendale Castle. The region is a home to the Zwin, a coastal nature reserve. With children, you can visit the butterfly garden (Vlindertuin Jardin Des Papillons) near Moeder Siska, which is a coffehouse famous for its traditional clover-shaped waffles.
