Tour of dunes and fortifications on Voorne-Putten

Beach, beautiful overgrown dunes where numerous plants and animals come across: Voorne-Putten is so beautiful. And you will find nice fortified towns!

Voornes Dune
Via Voornes Duin you cycle to Oostvoorne. This area is one of the most species-rich dunes in Europe! There used to be a tram line from Rotterdam to the beach boulevard of Oostvoorne. Many Rotterdammers still come here for a day at the sea. In the old village center you will find, among other things, the restored ruins of the medieval Jacobaburcht, the country residence of Jacoba van Beieren. Just outside the village is the Oostvoorne, a flour mill from 1821.

Historic Brielle
You also pass through the old center of Brielle, the largely seventeenth-century fortress is one of the best preserved defenses in the Netherlands. You can see the Vliegend Hert, a flour mill from 1862. Further on you will discover even more beautiful things: the ruins of Ravesteijn Castle, which is actually called Slot Heenvliet. The castle started as a wooden fortification around the year 1100. Back at your starting point, you can enjoy a drink at Resort Poort van Zeeland, near Hellevoetsluis.
