A Short Visit to Ostend - Belgium 4K Travel Channel

We combine our stay in Bruges with a short visit to Ostend. For about 20 km from Bruges to Ostend, we take a train. The train ride takes about 15 minutes. A return ticket costs € 8.40, seniors pay € 6.50. We think it doesn't pay off to use a car, because probably the parking fees in the city are higher.In the spacious and modern train station in Bruges, you find a variety of shops to shorten your waiting time.
The train runs through flat meadows, probably flood plains.
Upon arrival in Ostend, we see the industrial harbor, where a floating platform for the construction of wind power plants lies at anchor. It is the wind turbine installation vessel Vole au Vent, first built for Hochtief and sold to the Jan de Nul Group in 2015.
The station building in Ostend, built between 1907 and 1913, is in the style of the Belle Époque.
In front of the train station in Ostend, we observe a sailing ship entering the marina. Therefore it has to pass two bascule bridges.
As we walk along the harbor basins, we see in the distance Fort Napoleon, a fortress built in 1814 by the French Emperor Napoleon. Today it is a museum and congress center.
In the opposite direction, we see the Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk, a mighty Gothic cathedral that we will visit later.
Finally, we reach the sandy beach and are surprised by its dimensions.There is even a dog beach.
Right at the harbor entrance, at the Zeeheldenplein, the long promenade along the sandy beach, the artwork Rock Strangers by Arne Quinze was set up.

Wir kombinieren unseren Aufenthalt in Brügge mit einem Kurzbesuch in Ostende.
Die ca. 20 km von Brügge nach Ostende fahren wir mit der Bahn. Eine Fahrt dauert ungefähr 15 min. Der normale Fahrpreis für eine Hin- und Rückfahrt beträgt € 8,40, Senioren zahlen € 6,50. Eine Fahrt mit dem Auto hätte sich nicht gelohnt, denn vermutlich wären die Parkgebühren schon höher gewesen.
Der große und moderne Bahnhof in Brügge bietet eine Vielzahl von Geschäften, in denen man sich die Wartezeit vertreiben kann.
Die Bahnfahrt führt durch flache Wiesen, die vermutlich auch Überschwemmungsgebiet sind.
Beim Erreichen von Ostende bietet sich uns ein Blick auf den Industriehafen, in dem gerade eine schwimmende Plattform für die Errichtung von Windkraftwerken angelegt hat. Es ist das Errichterschiff „Vole au Vent“, das ursprünglich für Hochtief gebaut und 2015 an die Jan de Nul Group verkauft wurde.
Das Bahnhofsgebäude von Ostende wurde 1907 bis 1913 im Stil der Belle Époque gebaut.
Vor dem Bahnhof in Ostende beobachten wir ein Segelschiff bei der Einfahrt in den Sporthafen. Dazu müssen zwei Klappbrücken passiert werden
Während wir am Hafenbecken entlang spazieren, sehen wir in der Ferne das Fort Napoleon, eine Festungsanlage die 1814 vom französischen Kaiser Napoleon errichtet wurde. Heute ist es ein Museum und Kongresszentrum.
In der entgegengesetzten Richtung sehen wir die Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk, ein mächtiger gotischer Dom, den wir später noch besuchen werden.
Schließlich erreichen wir den Sandstrand und sind überrascht von dessen Dimensionen. Es gibt sogar einen eigenen Hundestrand.
Direkt an der Hafeneinfahrt wurde auf dem Zeeheldenplein, einer riesigen Flanierpromenade entlang des Sandstrandes, das Kunstwerk Rock Strangers von Arne Quinze aufgestellt.

In 1984 at the age of ten my school class travelled from Oxfordshire to Ostend for a week’s holiday. Many fond memories of the grand old hotel we stayed in plus excursions to meli park and Antwerp zoo. One day I’ll have to return.

*_Guten Morgen aus Wien, Günther! Ostende ist eine bemerkenswerte Hafenstadt und ein schönes Seebad an der belgischen Nordseeküste, ich hatte es auch schon genossen._* *_Der alte Bahnhof mit den Modernen Anbauten ist noch immer bildschön, super Szenen von den Hebebrücken. Der Hafen hat mir auch gut gefallen._* *_Imposante Aufnahmen von der ehemaligen Flugabwehrbatterie der Wehrmacht, (Atlantikwall). Die Strände sind auch zu dieser gezeigten Jahreszeit bezaubernd._* *_Die Aufnahmen von dem neugotischen Dom (Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk) sind hervorragend. Der Entwurf basierte auf dem gotischen Kölner Dom und der neugotischen Votivkirche in Wien._* *_Hervorragendes Video und schöne, unvergessliche Erinnerungen sind erwacht :-) Herzliche Grüße :-) Richard_*

[@myvideomedia]

Hallo Richard! Vielen Dank für den fantastischen Kommentar! Unser Aufenthalt war leider sehr kurz und ich war zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits gesundheitlich sehr angeschlagen, wodurch mir auch der Antrieb gefehlt hat. Es hätte sicherlich noch eine Menge mehr zu entdecken gegeben, aber so ist das Leben :-) Viele Grüße, alles Gute und ein wunderschönes Adventswochenende!

[@myvideomedia]

Thank you very much for your nice feedback! The Belgiums make a lot to minimize the individual traffic! It a short trip from Bruges to Ostende! There are some other parts in Ostende, e,g, where the jing made vacantions at the horse racecourse with an own Pedestrian gallery from the hotel to the racecourse! In the other direction you might see the rests of the atlantic wall (the german defenses in the second world war, today a museum and conference zone)! Have a great time and all the best!

Ostende is beautiful. Can you travel to Bruges everyday and work in Bruges and live in Ostend if you don’t have a car? I recently got a job in Bruges but I am planning to live in Ostende, so I was wondering if it’s normal to do so for Belgians people?

[@myvideomedia]

Driving by train need round about 20 minutes, so it is no problem to live in Ostende and to work in Bruges. But also Bruges is a beautiful city and you can go on weekend to Ostende :-) All the best for the future and good luck!
