Island hopping in Zeeland

A day out on the Zeeland coast is the ideal way to relax. This route takes you across the Zeeland islands of Schouwen-Duiveland, Noord-Beveland and Walcheren.

Neeltje Jans
Soon you drive over the Oosterscheldekering to Noord-Beveland. On one side lies the North Sea, on the other side the Oosterschelde. What a view! Neeltje Jans served as a work island during the construction of the storm surge barrier. Over the years, wind and weather have turned Neeltje Jans into a beautiful dune landscape that is held together by marram grass and sea buckthorn. In 2015, André Greipel was the first to cross the line here in the second Tour stage.

Delicious Veere
Veere is one of the most beautiful fortified towns in the Netherlands. In this historic and attractive town you can admire the Grote Kerk from 1348, for example. The town hall with its beautiful facade dates from the fifteenth century. The Scottish Houses Museum is located on the quay and is housed in two sixteenth-century monuments. The Campveerse Toren dates back to 1500. At the end of the ride, something tasty awaits you at the cozy Pannekoekenmolen de Graanhalm.

Defense against Normans
Burgh originated around a ring rampart that was raised at the end of the ninth century against robbery Normans. A footpath leads from the Kerkstraat to the burg. The courtyard has been raised and the earthen wall, including the wooden palisades, has been partially restored. A reconstruction of an entrance gate and a second path across the bridge have also been made. It gives you a wonderful impression of what the castle must have looked like ten centuries ago!
