Cycling in the Pocket of South Beveland

This trip through the vast polders of Zuid-Beveland and along the north bank of the Western Scheldt starts near Goes. On this route you cycle through the beautiful area known as the Zak van Zuid-Beveland, one of the oldest polder landscapes in the Netherlands. You can enjoy uneven pool grounds, narrow dikes and sloping creek ridges by bike. The system of meandering dykes was created from the 12th century as a result of the centuries-long struggle against the water and forms a beautiful patchwork in the landscape. The Zak van Zuid-Beveland has the status of Valuable Cultural Landscape and is part of the Southwest Zeeland National Landscape. Korenmolen De Vijf Gebroeders was built in 1851. The round, brick tower mill replaced another mill in the village, which was struck by lightning and burned out. The Five Brothers served until the early 1960s. The mill has been thoroughly restored and runs regularly. In principle, he can be visited on Saturdays. Stretch your legs halfway through your route at Strandbrasserie de Landing. On a sunny day, settle down on the terrace with a view over the Western Scheldt for a refreshing drink or a nice cup of coffee. Are you hungry for more? Then you can choose from all kinds of delicious dishes from the menu.
