With its wide-open, scenic landscapes, sweeping vistas and abundance of water, Walcheren is the ultimate holiday destination for lovers of nature and peace and quiet. Come and enjoy the many different types of scenery that Walcheren has to offer! Walcheren has it all – polders, creeks, country estates, villages and cities. The dykes of Walcheren protect the area from the water and tell the story of land obtained by reclamation (drainage). Walcheren has four areas with creeks where there is plenty to find for the true nature enthusiast. Special bird, butterfly, herb and plant species are present in these areas. These spots are also great for birdwatching. The most unusual birds here include the horned grebe, the black-necked grebe and the kingfisher. In short, it’s a place where you can go for long walks and enjoy the area’s extensive dunes and wide beaches. Did you know that Zeeland’s beaches are the cleanest in the Netherlands?

Knokke

Further along the coast at about an hour’s drive from Vlissingen lies Knokke, a stylish seaside resort often described as ‘Belgium’s Saint-Tropez’. It’s a perfect place for shopping and enjoying the beach and the promenade. An excellent time to visit Knokke is in summer when there are lots of events on and the nightlife is bustling.

Knokke also has beautiful nature reserves. The Zwin plain has a unique biotope of mudflats and salt marshes – the largest in Belgium. The reserve is inhabited by a remarkably wide range of European water birds and its landscape is truly breathtaking.

Culture aficionados

Zeeland has a rich history and is very proud of its heritage. The people of Zeeland honour their traditions and dialect and feel strongly about keeping ancient customs and rituals alive. Zeeland’s many museums, monuments and art galleries testify to this. Water is a recurring element here too – not just the battle against the water, but also the many possibilities that water creates for Zeeland’s inhabitants.
