Description

You will find a beautiful piece of Zeeland against the Belgian border. This area is separated from the rest of the Netherlands by the Western Scheldt and you will find an open meadow landscape with polders, meandering creeks and special nature reserves with numerous bird species.

Towns along the border with Belgium
The starting point of this route is just outside Sluis. From here you cycle along the Belgian border in the direction of the walled village of Retranchement. This village is the remnant of a large set of fortifications that were intended to protect the banks of the Zwin. At the hamlet of Terhofstede you continue cycling in the direction of Slikkenburg and Nieuwvliet.

End in Smaakvol Sluis
The second part of the route takes you back to Sluis via Aardenburg. This old fortified town is known for its friendly Burgundian atmosphere and the rich history of Sluis is also worth a visit. View beautiful old buildings or visit one of the nice shops in the center of Sluis.

The South Sand Mill
In Zuidzande you can admire the Zuidzandse Molen on the Sluissedijk. This mill was built in 1874 and until 1968 the mill was used extensively. The mill came to a standstill due to storm damage. The mill was only restored in 1981 and in 1996 the mill was restored again. Today, the mill operates on a voluntary basis. It is possible to visit the mill by appointment.
