Along the coast and Zeeland-Flemish mills

This route takes you along the Zeeland-Flemish west coast. Inland you will pass some historical sights, such as old mills and churches.

Nieuwerkerkse Kreek
You start your cycling tour at a beautiful spot: at the Molenkreek. Here is Hulsters Molen, a flour mill from 1884 that replaced a predecessor that had fallen over. Further on you pass through the nature reserve around the Nieuwerkerkse Kreek. This creek was created when Pro-State troops breached the dikes to stop the Spaniards. The plan succeeded, although some villages disappeared completely under the waves. Including Nieuwerkerke, the namesake of the creek.

Breskens
In Nieuwvliet you will pass two flour mills. First you see the hull of the Luteyn from 1859. Further on is an unnamed mill from 1850. In the dunes along the North Sea you can get a breath of fresh air while looking out to sea. You pass the Nieuwe Sluis, the oldest existing cast-iron lighthouse from 1867. In Breskens you can enjoy the cozy atmosphere. You will also visit Mobile Bicycle Service, a mobile workshop for bicycle repairs on location.
