This cycle route takes you along ramparts, gates and historic monuments in and around Zierikzee and lets you breathe in the atmosphere of the island of Schouwen-Duiveland. Zierikzee is a city with a rich history and is known as a monument city. Zierikzee has a large number of monuments for a relatively small city. The most famous monument is the St. Lievens Monstertoren, which is popularly known as the Fat Tower. In Zierikzee we visit windmill Den Haas. This tower mill dates from 1727. In 1966 the mill was sold to the municipality and in 1987 the mill was put back into use. The mill has three pairs of grinding stones. From Zierikzee you cycle via Ouwerkerk towards Nieuwerkerk. Nieuwerkerk is a church village, founded in the 12th century, and is part of the Zeeland municipality of Schouwen-Duiveland. The Protestant church has a striking hexagonal tower, somewhat comparable to the octagonal tower of Kruiningen. You cycle the last part of this route via Oosterland (as a mill of the same name that we visit) and Ouwekerk back to Zierikzee.

Welcome to De Vier Bannen Campsite. A campsite in the middle of the beautiful creek area, directly on the Oosterschelde National Park, surrounded by salt marshes and mud flats and all the unique and exuberant flora and fauna that go with it. Camping De Vier Bannen is so special. The campsite consciously opts for simple facilities, but of high quality. The sanitary building is heated to offer comfort in the spring and autumn. Wifi is powerful and wireless, the animal meadow, the nature trail (where you can get to know trees and nest boxes of various birds) and the recreation team focus on experiencing nature.
