Between 2 Harbors

Description

After the winter break, I was looking forward to a big cycling trip. I had long wanted to see Terneuzen.

I started from Bassevelde. Along Boekhoute, I cycle a lot on the dikes along the polders: Sint Joris polder, Rode polder... What was nice was that you regularly had information boards about WWII, the polders themselves. You could also see when the polder was precisely diked, usually in the 16th century.

Via Ertvelde, I arrive at the port of Ghent to take a large ferry. A little further, I pass through Wachtebeke, also a very beautiful area with many meadows and forests. I will return here as well.

In the Netherlands, you again have the very cozy villages. In Terneuzen, I cycled another stretch along the Western Scheldt, with a beautiful view and saw many large ships. Then I go inland again to Philippine, known as the mussel town. I then cycle a bit more through the polders back to Bassevelde. It was a beautiful, varied bike ride.
