Description
At Schouwen-Duiveland you can enjoy Zeeland views and cultural history. You cycle through vast polders and along the banks of the Grevelingenmeer and the Oosterschelde. Ideal for getting some fresh air.
Grevelingenmeer
The route starts at the Grevelingenmeer. After the closure of the Grevelingen in 1971, new land was created. A number of sandbanks dried up permanently and the salt marshes and a large part of the mudflats along the edges of the Grevelingen dried up. The Slikken van Flakkee and the Slikken van Bommenede are examples of this. Nature has free rein here. Due to the unique location and the many flooding zones with salt water, special plants thrive in these areas. Some areas are closed to the public due to the vulnerability of the special plants and/or breeding birds found there.

Fortress town of Zierikzee
A cozy, but certainly beautiful town. Zierikzee has enjoyed a protected cityscape since 1971. There are no fewer than 568 monuments, so allow plenty of time to experience the unique historical atmosphere here. The most famous building is the Sint-Lievensmonstertoren from 1506, it looks exactly like the Sint-Romboutstoren in Mechelen.
