Cycling on the Oesterdam

You start and end at Orangerie Mattemburgh. The Orangery was originally a greenhouse where unique container plants used to overwinter. The orangery is located on the beautiful Mattemburg Estate. Mattemburgh is considered one of the five best preserved style gardens in our country. At Orangerie Mattemburgh you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee with a lunch of forgotten vegetables, grown on the estate. Extra special! You cycle to Halsteren and Tholen via Bergen op Zoom. After Tholen you cycle over the Oesterdam, the dam that connects Tholen with Zuid-Beveland. With a length of 10.5 kilometers, the dam is the longest dam of the Delta Works. The dam was built to divide the Zeeland and South Holland waters into compartments for the purpose of freshwater management and shipping. You cycle back to the estate via Hoogerheide.
