Hulst
A fortress town with its star-shaped city walls fully intact. You can walk the entire circuit of the ramparts, and it is the hometown of the Reynard the Fox tales in the Netherlands.
Hulst lies in eastern Zeeland Flanders, surrounded by 17th-century star-shaped ramparts and a moat. The walkway along the ramparts is about 3.5 km long and offers pleasant views. In the town centre stand the Gothic Church of Saint Willibrord and the town hall, and a windmill sits beside one of the gates. The medieval beast fable Reynard the Fox is set in this region, and there is a themed walking trail outside the town. Hulst is about 30 km from Antwerp, and Belgian visitors often come here to shop.
