You drive through the dunes and forests of the Zeepe nature reserve to Burgh. Here you can see, among other things, the Graanhalm, a flour mill from 1847. You can also admire a partial replica of the former medieval ring castle. Boswachterij Westerschouwen is the largest forest in Zeeland. It is wonderfully quiet cycling here. On the dike along the Oosterschelde you pass the Plompetoren, an old church tower from 1468. From the top you have a beautiful panorama of the area. Further on you drive past the Schelphoek nature reserve and the Prunjepolder. In Zierikzee it is time to enjoy cultural history, such as in the Town Hall Museum. Slot Haamstede is the last attraction on your route.

It's quite a mouthful, but the Zierikzeese Cafe de Crowned Sugar Beet is also popularly known as the Beet. It owes this special name to the beet transports that have taken place from Schouwen-Duiveland since the end of the nineteenth century. Since 1873 there has been an inn with pub on this site. A bustling hotspot on the harbor of Zierikzee where there is always something to experience. A timeless brown cafe, living room pub, (beer) tasting, party tent, lunch spot and restaurant along the quay of Zierikzee. De Biet is the anchor of the city. Feel welcome.

Slot Haamstede
Ring
4328AH Schouwen-Duiveland
Opposite the church, in the middle of the village of Haamstede, is Slot Haamstede. The oldest part of the current castle dates from the 13th century. The other parts were added in the following centuries. Traces of the Romans and Normans have even been found on the castle island! Now the castle and the accompanying estate are owned by Natuurmonumenten. The lock is normally closed to visitors. You can view it during Heritage Days. You can also take a guided walk around the estate.
