Icon description route Description

Discover the hidden treasures of Walcheren on this unforgettable bicycle tour. You start your bike tour near Kasteel Westhove, a beautiful historic castle surrounded by greenery. Admire the structure that has hosted guests such as Count Floris V and Queen Wilhelmina. Continue cycling and feel the heroic history at the Landings Monument in Westkapelle, where an impressive World War II Sherman tank watches over the landscape. Part of the liberation of Walcheren, the tank is a silent witness to courage and sacrifice. Also, don't forget the Freedom Bridge and the nearby Dike and War Museum for a deeper dive into local history.

After the cultural effort, the breathtaking Oranjezon Nature Reserve invites you to relax. Once vital for water supplies, this protected area is now a haven for diverse flora and fauna. Paddle through the shade of pine forests and admire the rare views that Oranjezon has to offer. This unique natural landscape, part of the Manteling van Walcheren, perfectly concludes your tour.
