Kruiningen, Yerseke and's-Gravenpolder

South Beveland is small-scale and green. The landscape is divided into irregular blocks or plots by streams, ditches, hedges and dikes.

The irregular micro-relief was created by the extraction of salt from peat, but it also takes shape from the many drinking pools and the beautiful hawthorn hedges that lie in the area. There are also a few vliedbergen, which were raised by inhabitants of the area in the Middle Ages to build old wooden fortresses, or where they fled to during high water. The dikes are covered with double rows of trees and fruit nurseries grow their fruit between the hawthorn hedges on small pieces of land, while the landscape to the north has an upright vegetation and therefore has an open character.

The first is located in Wemeldinge and bears a name that many other windmills also have: De Hoop. The mill was built in 1866 by a miller's servant who worked on the predecessor of the other mill in Wemeldinge (Aeolus). The mill was in operation until 1968. Then plans were made to convert the mill into a home, but these plans also disappeared from the table. Today, the white round stone mill with two pairs of grinding stones still grinds grain on a voluntary basis.

The other windmill, De Korenhalm, that you pass during the bike ride is on the edge of's-Gravenpolder. The round, brick-built tower mill proudly towers above the surrounding fields. The mill was built in 1876, three years after a predecessor burned down fifty meters from this spot. In 2013, the mill is no longer in operation, but it is still capable of turning.
