Enjoying the sea at Wissenkerke

From the coast to the polders
The starting point of this walk is on the edge of Wissenkerke. This place already existed in 1242, but where the village was then is unknown. After a flood in the second half of the 14th century, Wissenkerke had to be moved. In 1652, the area where Wissenkerke is now located was poldered to be better protected against the water. From the starting point you walk to the coast and then continue your course for a while along the beach. The second part of the route takes you through the quiet polder area between the dikes of Noord-Beveland. Here you will find, among other things, extensive grasslands. These polders form the habitat of all kinds of bird species such as the avocet and the tern.

CountryHouse de Vlasschure
At the end of your walk you will end up in Wissenkerke at CountryHouse de Vlasschure. Rent a room or an apartment here and stay a night in this beautiful area. Then you can go on your way again the next day fully rested.

Mill Landzigt
In the polders you will find the Landzigt mill. The first mill on this site was built in 1826, but this mill burned down in 1868. The mill was immediately restored and then the mill passed from owner to owner for centuries. In 1962 the milling equipment was removed from the mill and after that the mill fell into disrepair. In 2000 the mill was restored and made rotatable again, but the mill has not been in motion since then.
