Part of Netherlands

Zeeland in the Netherlands

Zeeland is the province of water. The islands are connected to each other by dams and the Delta Works, so you can cycle from Walcheren via the Oosterscheldekering to Schouwen-Duiveland, with the sea on both sides.

Why cycle in Zeeland?

  • The Delta Works, with the Oosterscheldekering as the most impressive piece.
  • Walcheren: dunes, Veere, Middelburg and the seaside resorts.
  • Schouwen-Duiveland: Zierikzee, the Brouwersdam and the dunes of the Cape of Schouwen.
  • Zeeland-Vlaanderen: dykes, creeks and unpaved border roads towards Belgium.
  • And after the ride: mussels, oysters and Zeeuwse bolussen.
