Get a breath of fresh air along the water of Zeeland

The first part of the cycle route leads you to the Oosterschelde coast. It has long been an estuary, which is why you will find both fresh and salt water. The construction of the first Delta Works gave the Oosterschelde a unique flora and fauna, such as seals and porpoises. Another place of interest is windmill't Hert in Ellemeet. This ground sailer was installed in 1748 to grind grain. You will also pass Slot Haamstede, which dates back to the thirteenth century. In 1525 the castle was almost completely destroyed by a fire, so the castle had to be rebuilt. The estate belonging to the castle contains the only deciduous forest in Schouwen-Duivenland.
