Goeree-Overflakkee and Duinen van Goeree

The Landscape

The beaches, dunes, dikes, and polders of Goeree-Overflakkee have been drawing nature lovers and travelers for centuries. The island is a place of sun, sea, and silence, a sanctuary where nature reveals itself in all its glory. The landscape, shaped by the power of the elements, stands as a living testament to the struggle against the sea. Dunes wind along the coast, dikes protect the land, and mudflats and creeks weave through the island, silent witnesses to the eternal interplay between land and water.

As you cycle along the winding dikes on the southern edge of the island, a breathtaking view unfolds before you. The mudflats and salt marshes stretch out to the horizon, while the uninhabited islets of the largest saltwater lake in Western Europe stand as silent witnesses to nature in all its pristine beauty. A place where the elements converge, and the story of land and water is written forever.
