Description
Get on your bike and discover the beautiful landscapes of Zeeland along our unique cycling route. About halfway along this tour you can marvel at impressive feats of water management at the Hansweert Locks. This ingenious twin lock system forms a crucial link in the waterway between the Westerschelde and the Canal through Zuid-Beveland. Experience the dynamics of this complex where ships of large size make their way through the water.
Not far away, the historic Hansweert Lighthouse graces the route. This striking 1914 structure, which once served the harbor lights, has won its own place in the hearts of cyclists. Now it stands gleaming on a traffic circle, paying homage to the area's rich maritime history.

Saturday, July 11, 2026 by Herman Van den ReeckMuch of the route is very enjoyable, especially along the Oosterschelde and through a beautiful nature reserve near Yerseke. However, the stretch through Yerseke is dangerous (heavy truck traffic and no crossings for cyclists). Around the Hansweert lock, the signage is confusing. In addition, there are several road construction projects (July 10, 2026).
