A beautiful route along beautiful towns full of history, water and nature. Variety trumps!

Historic Zierikzee
From the ring village of Burgh on Schouwen-Duiveland you cycle to the Oosterschelde, where you can get a breath of fresh air. You will pass the Schelphoek nature reserve and a watchtower, the Plompetoren. A little further on you cycle the Zierikzee within the Havenkanaal. The fifteenth-century Zuidhavenpoort on the Oude Haven is a picture, it used to protect the southern harbor entrance. In the open-air museum Museumhaven Zeeland you can see a few beautiful old ships. What a beautiful varied route!

Green Shaking Fair
A little further you cycle through the small village of Schuddebeurs, beautifully hidden in the green. In the Golden Age, capital houses with associated parks arose here, and forests were created in recent decades. A little later you can enjoy the villages of Burgh and Haamstede that have grown together. Slot Haamstede, a national monument from the thirteenth century, is also worth a visit. Stay back at your starting point, Even Outside, sleep a night and discover even more beautiful things tomorrow!

Café De Gekroonde Suikerbiet

Nieuwe Haven 141
4301 DL Schouwen-Duiveland
http://www.cafedebiet.nl

It's quite a mouthful, but the Zierikzeese Cafe de Crowned Sugar Beet is also popularly known as the Beet. It owes this special name to the beet transports that have taken place from Schouwen-Duiveland since the end of the nineteenth century. Since 1873 there has been an inn with pub on this site. A bustling hotspot on the harbor of Zierikzee where there is always something to experience. A timeless brown cafe, living room pub, (beer) tasting, party tent, lunch spot and restaurant along the quay of Zierikzee. De Biet is the anchor of the city. Feel welcome.

Slot Haamstede

Ring
4328AH Schouwen-Duiveland

Opposite the church, in the middle of the village of Haamstede, is Slot Haamstede. The oldest part of the current castle dates from the 13th century. The other parts were added in the following centuries. Traces of the Romans and Normans have even been found on the castle island! Now the castle and the accompanying estate are owned by Natuurmonumenten. The lock is normally closed to visitors. You can view it during Heritage Days. You can also take a guided walk around the estate.
