Description

This route leads you around the Volkerak, a body of water that probably originated during the Sint-Elisabeth flood in 1421. From the dike you can enjoy different views over the water.

Goeree-Overflakkee
You cycle across the rural island of Goeree-Overflakkee to the village of Achthuizen, originally a temporary home for seasonal workers from North Brabant. Many of them continued to live here and formed a Catholic enclave in a predominantly Protestant area. Seen from the air, the village is strikingly shaped like an eight.

Dintel Gorzen
Time and time again you come across the Volkerak. But the influence of the sea can be seen in the creeks that you encounter in this region. For example, you cross the Steenbergse Vliet, where you have a beautiful view of the bird-rich nature reserve of the Dintelse Gorzen, which has dried up after the closure of the Philipsdam. Just before Oude-Tonge you pass the Grevelingenmeer, a former estuary. Today it is the largest saltwater lake in Western Europe.
