Are you looking for a unique activity during your stay in Knokke-Heist?
From 28 June to 2 November 2025, the exhibition “Doggerland: A Lost World in the North Sea” will take you on an unforgettable journey through one million years of history! Combine your discovery tour with a comfortable stay at Hotel St Pol and enjoy a truly special experience on the Belgian coast.
A Fascinating Journey into the Prehistoric North Sea Region
Imagine this: where the waves of the North Sea now roll, there once stretched a fertile, vibrant landscape.
Doggerland was home to Neanderthals living among mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses. Rivers meandered through this lush world, which was slowly submerged as sea levels rose.
At the Zwin Nature Park, just a short distance from Hotel St Pol, you will travel through time – from the Ice Ages to the rise of modern humans. Marvel at extraordinary finds from the North Sea, including:
- Giant mammoth molars
- Prehistoric tools such as arrowheads, scrapers, borers, and impressive hand axes
Meet Krijn, the First Neanderthal Discovered in the Netherlands
One of the absolute highlights is the skull fragment of ‘Krijn’, a Neanderthal who lived around 50,000 years ago in Doggerland.
Krijn is the first and only Neanderthal ever found in the Netherlands. His life-like reconstruction can be admired at the Zwin Nature Park, offering a memorable experience for both young and old.
