Cycling on Walcheren
Zeeland is a beautiful province with a very diverse landscape. This is probably why it’s the number 1 spot for cycling for so many Dutch people. Of course, you can also combine your cycling tour with a visit to one of the many sights or events Zeeland Flanders offers. Here are a few suggestions for things to do while you’re in Zeeland.
Cycling in Zeeland
For an experience you won’t soon forget: spend the day cycling. Cycling is the perfect way to explore Walcheren. The Dorpenroute (Village Trail) from Koudekerke to Domburg leads you along the most beautiful villages, windmills and farmhouses and through panoramic polders. After you pass the charming seaside resort of Domburg, follow the signs for the cycle network back to Vlissingen via Westkapelle and Zoutelande, which will take you behind the dykes and dunes on a well-kept asphalted bicycle path through dune woods.
You can also create your own cycling tour using the network of bicycle routes in Zeeland. This map is available at a cost from reception.

Veere
The small city of Veere has an illustrious past. Today it only has about 750 residents, but in the 15th and 17th century Veere used to be a prosperous trading city with more than 5,000 inhabitants. This attractive old city oozes charm and the atmosphere of a time gone by, combining the past with modern-day liveliness in a stunning setting with water galore.
De Kaai near the marina and the Markt square are dotted with beautiful merchant’s houses and warehouses with stepped gables, spout gables, cornice gables and bell gables.
Today, much of the city’s heritage is still alive, such as the impressive Grote Kerk, the elegant town hall on the Markt square, the gothic Scottish houses along the Kaai and, last but not least, the fortifications. Veere also has many traditional shops.
