Border shopping in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen

Cycling in the sparsely populated Zeeland-Flemish polder is wonderfully peaceful. You have sweeping views here, and from afar you can see the church towers of a village appearing on the horizon. Hop van Hulst across the border!

St. Willibrordus Basilica
You will soon find yourself within the old fortress walls of Hulst. There is much to see in this beautiful old town, such as the fifteenth-century St. Willibrordus Basilica - one of the most beautiful churches in the Netherlands. On the Grote Markt you will see some centuries-old buildings, such as the beautiful Gothic town hall from 1534. You will also pass the Stadsmolen, a flour mill from 1792.

Graauwse Creek
There is also a special church in Graauw, although it is mainly the clock that makes it so special. The bell of the church of the drowned village of Namur hangs in the tower. This was made in Amsterdam in 1664 by brothers François and Pierre Hémony - the most famous clock builders of the Golden Age. Further on you drive a bit along the Graauwse Kreek, a nature reserve rich in birds. How nice and quiet it is here!
