The tranquility of West Zeeuws-Vlaanderen

In Zeeuws-Vlaanderen you can cycle in peace and quiet. This route takes you through the vast polder with its vast grasslands and creeks. Along the way you will pass through Breskens and IJzendijke.

Braakmanpolder
First you drive through the Braakmanpolder. What was once an estuary has become a nature reserve since 1952 with a large dammed creek, flower-rich meadows and deciduous forests. A nice start to your route! Then you cycle along the dike with the Western Scheldt. At junction 28 you can climb the dike for a beautiful view over the water. In Breskens you will visit Mobiele Fietsservice, a mobile workshop for bicycle repairs on location.

Picturesque IJzendijke
You drive through the vast polders on car-free roads. Sometimes you are sheltered by a row of trees, sometimes you get a push from the wind. You can relax here, ideal to recharge the battery. After a while you drive into IJzendijke. A beautiful place, on the Markt you can admire some monumental buildings. On Kerkstraat you can admire the Mauritskerk from 1612.
