Adinkerke, a serene village in the municipality of Veurne, lies just inland from the popular coastal resort of De Panne. Its main draw is the Adinkerke Military Cemetery, a poignant site with graves from both World Wars, reflecting the area's strategic importance during the conflicts. The cemetery is meticulously maintained and offers a quiet space for reflection. Beyond history, Adinkerke serves as a gateway to the De Panne beaches and the nearby nature reserve De Westhoek, a dune landscape perfect for hiking and birdwatching. The village itself has a small church and local eateries, but its charm lies in its tranquility and proximity to the coast. Visitors often combine a trip here with a visit to the larger attractions of De Panne or the Paul Delvaux Museum in Saint-Idesbald.
