National Landscape Zuidwest-Zeeland and Walcheren
Cycling in a protected coastal landscape with beautiful beaches, high dunes, robust sea dikes, old dune oak forests and flowering hedges.
The Landscape
Walcheren was once an island and is now a protected landscape behind tall dunes and robust dikes. It is the oldest part of the Southwest Zeeland National Landscape and has an open but small-scale character. Behind the narrow coastal strip lies a mosaic of fields, meadows, and dozens of medieval country estates. However, you still feel like you are on an island here. Surrounded by the North Sea and the Westerschelde, you will find beautiful, long sandy beaches offering a picturesque view of the sea vessels passing close to the coast. Additionally, Walcheren features a variety of scenic attractions, including forests with classic manor houses, whimsical streams, polders with historic dikes, farming villages, medieval escape hills, and ancient cities like Veere, Vlissingen, and Middelburg, all worth a visit.
