Between the Western Scheldt and the North Sea, West Zeeuws Vlaanderen unfolds as an elongated coastal stretch of beaches, dunes, dikes and salt marshes. This is the Land of Cadzand, known for its fresh sea air and wide open panoramas, where the light is almost always in motion. Beyond the coast lies a surprisingly green hinterland of quiet polders, straight waterways and historic creeks that reflect the waters that shaped this landscape for centuries.

In this border region, history remains visible in the landscape through the Dutch Spanish Lines, built in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and later used into the French era. While the forts have largely disappeared, their ramparts and moats still trace clear lines across the land, gradually evolving into nature areas with reeds, rough vegetation and bird habitats. Cycling here means experiencing a landscape where conflict, water management and nature development come together in a single story.
