The eastern tip of Goeree-Overflakkee

Goeree-Overflakkee stands for wonderful cycling on winding dikes with views of creeks, lakes and former estuaries. Ancient villages with characteristic buildings and cozy terraces.

Old-Tonge
Goeree-Overflakkee is an ideal cycling area, which used to consist of several small islands. In the battle against the water of the North Sea, humans gradually conquered more and more land. The first reclamation already took place in the twelfth century. In villages such as Oude-Tonge, the starting point of the route, you can see beautiful monumental farms. Part of the route you have a view from the dike of the Volkerak, a body of water that probably originated during the Sint-Elisabeth flood in 1421.

Monumental town hall
Ooltgensplaat is a typical church ring village with a harbor to the Volkerak. In the picturesque town on the Kaai you will find, among other things, the Oude Raadhuis, the oldest building of its kind on Goeree-Overflakkee. It dates from 1616 and was built according to the design of the famous seventeenth-century Flemish master builder Melchior van Harbach.
