Description
Ijzendijke is the starting point of this bicycle tour full of Zeeland nature and history. Soon you pass by the Paulinaschor, a picturesque salt marsh area in the Westerschelde. Be surprised by the variety of flora and fauna, with the oystercatcher and the hen harrier stealing the show. While breathing in the salty air, continue along the banks towards Biervliet, where the Landingsmonument offers an imposing reminder of the liberation period. The bronze plaques and relief make you pause to reflect on the past.
After the historical tribute, you will be surprised by a beautiful stretch of water: the Braakmankreek. Water sports enthusiasts enjoy themselves to the full here, while water birds find the tranquility they seek. Continue your route and let the rustic charm of Voorste Kreek enchant you. This natural area, a heaven for botanists with rare finds such as wild celery, is sure to charm you. The final eye-catcher of this tour is De Witte Juffer at IJzendijke. This beautifully restored mill tells a story of craftsmanship and tradition, and is a worthy finale to an exceptional route full of diversity and beauty.

Monday, July 28, 2025 by P.D.Started at knppnt 17 was a good choice, 1st headwind, end with a tailwind. Track quite varied: wide open spaces, between fields and meadows, bits through woods or along bushes, saw beautiful animals, enjoyed the natural beauty along creeks and canals. Route is car-free, a plus. Lack of catering ? Just deviate from the trail.

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 by Marnix VanpouckeFind the reaction of anonymous user greatly exaggerated, beautiful route, the roads are certainly ok. if you cycle to enjoy and explore the region. With racing bike I wouldn't do it either,idd some cobblestones and( unpaved),definitely no dirt road. Ridden on May 14, 2025 and enjoyed 🤌 Hospitality is not to be found but plenty of picnic tables......

Saturday, August 10, 2024 by P.W.Due to many unpaved roads and cobblestones, the route is not recommended. Also many very narrow bike roads where 2 cyclists can barely pass each other without getting off. A very beautiful region but not much to enjoy because you constantly have to keep an eye on the road. No catering along the way.
