Big round Zierikzee from Burgh-Haamstede

This cycling route starts at Camping de Meypacht in Burgh-Haamstede. Then you drive through Boswachterij Westerschouwen, the largest forest in Zeeland. In Burgh you will pass the partly rebuilt former ring rampart that was raised at the end of the ninth century against marauding Normans. Here you get a wonderful glimpse of the past! Via the pleasant Renesse and Brouwershaven you arrive at the Grevelingenmeer. Further on you pass through the port of Zierikzee, a beautiful historic spot. Definitely stop here! Then you will find some water and bird-rich nature reserves along the Oosterschelde. You will drive past the Schelphoek, a beautiful creek area that emerged from one of the largest dike breaches during the flood disaster in 1953. From the Plompetoren you have a beautiful view over the Oosterschelde.
