Description
This route takes you over Goeree-Overflakkee. A route to recharge the proverbial battery as you cycle through the vast polder landscape and along the Grevelingenmeer.
Swallowing Flakkee
The first kilometers you cycle along the canal that connects the Haringvliet with the port of Dirksland. It is wonderful to cycle here with beautiful views of the polder landscape. In Dirksland you pass the Eendracht, a flour mill from 1846. A little later you cycle past the Slikken van Flakkee: a large piece of dry land where there is still shallow water here and there. What a special area!
Grevelingendam
On the Scharloodijk in Herkingen you will see two beautiful monuments: the seventeenth-century Visbank and the village church from 1788. Cycling along the Grevelingenmeer you will see the Grevelingendam, which was completed in 1965. On this dam you can enjoy a terrace at Restaurant PUURR by Rich: a unique location! Don't linger too long, because a nice stretch of cycling through the polders awaits you. An ideal way to get a breath of fresh air!
