From Aardenburg through the Flemish polders

Aardenburg is a picturesque town near Belgium. On the other side of the border you will find charming old villages, such as Damme. You will also pass through the Meetjeslands creek area.

St. Bavo Church
The route starts with a coffee and something tasty at Restaurant De Kaaipoort. Then you will be introduced to Aardenburg: the oldest town in Zeeland. No wonder that you can still admire some historical sights here, such as the thirteenth-century St. Bavo Church. This building is in the Top 100 of National Monuments. You then drive through the polders along the Dutch-Belgian border. You look out over meadows and fields. It is wonderfully quiet here to travel for miles.

Meetjeslands creek area
Around Sint-Lauriens you drive through the Meetjeslands creek area: a landscape with many creeks and ponds that have been created by floods over the centuries. Just before junction 75 you can get off and admire the creeks on both sides of the road. Further on you will pass the Bladelin Visitor Center. Here you will learn more about the rich history of the village of Middelburg-in-Flanders, highly recommended! You will also pass through picturesque Damme and the fortified town of Sluis.
