Description
What was then, at the end of World War II, the battleground of the Battle of the Scheldt is today the setting of a beautiful bicycle route around Bergen op Zoom. Among other things, you pass a Canadian military cemetery, a lasting reminder of the fallen heroes of WWII.
You will also discover the charming Brabantse Wal and Bergen op Zoom itself. You cycle past Kijk in de Pot, the beautiful city park on the steep edge of the Brabantse Wal and the historic Gevangenpoort, which is the oldest monument in Bergen op Zoom.
