Sint Philipsland, West Brabant and Tholen

A vast polder landscape and a lot of water: here you cycle on the border of Brabant and Zeeland. A wonderfully quiet, rural area where you can enjoy beautiful views.

Fort Henry
After you start in Sint Philipsland you immediately cycle a long way along the water of the Krabbenkreek. This will immediately put you in the mood for a day out! In West Brabant you drive past Fort Henricus. It was built in 1626 and belonged to the West Brabant Waterline. It has five bastions and a moat. The fort was put on alert for the last time in 1809, when the British threatened to invade Zeeland.

Tholen
On the other side of the Scheldt-Rhine Canal you enter Tholen, one of the smaller islands in Zeeland. Everywhere you smell the salty scent of the sea. With its picturesque towns and tranquil nature, it is a wonderful area for a day of cycling. A little further on at Oud-Vossemeer, get off at De Stelhoek, a nice farm shop with numerous Zeeland regional products. You can also eat artisan ice cream on the terrace!
