A tour through the Zak van Zuid-Beveland

The Zak van Zuid-Beveland is a beautiful cultural landscape. So beautiful that it is part of the Southwest Zeeland National Landscape. With this route you will discover the charm of this area.

Vliedbergen
The southern tip of Zuid-Beveland is best discovered from the many inner dikes. The small-scale landscape consists of a mix of polders, creeks and fruit orchards. You will also see Vliedbergen, artificial hills that may have served as a base for a motte. This beautiful area has been slowly reclaimed from the sea through numerous small reclamations. The monks of Sint Bavo from Ghent started this in the twelfth century, so Beveland is named after them.

Castles
There are some nice places on your route. Such as Nisse, one of the most beautiful villages in South Beveland. In's Heer-Arendskerke you can see the characteristic Zeeland ring, in the middle is the fifteenth-century village church. Further on is the Korenhalm, a flour mill from 1876. In Baarland, behind the fourteenth-century St. Martin's Church, there is a remnant of an old castle. A little further on you can admire the foundations of the former Hellenburg Castle.
