Walking through Oostkapelle and the Manteling

On Walcheren you can take a walk through Oostkapelle and the Manteling. Put on your sturdy shoes and come and relax in this beautiful region.

Westhove Castle
From Frieterie De Bostent you first walk through the Manteling. Hardly anywhere else in Europe do deciduous trees grow so close to the coast as here. But it comes at a price: many trees are no higher than one meter. They have been cut short by the biting west wind and the blowing salt. After a while you walk past Westhove Castle. The history of this building goes back to the Middle Ages.

Terra Maris
The Terra Maris Museum is located in the orangery of the castle. At the entrance you also have access to the recreated motte-and-bailey castle. From the top you have a beautiful panorama. In Oostkapelle you can admire the beautiful village church on the Ring. The tower dates from the fourteenth century. Further on you will see D\\\'Arke, a flour mill from 1858. Finally, you walk back into the dune forest. What a silence!
