View of the North Sea and the Veerse Meer from the Veerse Gatdam

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful wide car-free cycle path through the dunes with the North Sea on one side and the Veerse Meer on the other. Although the wind can make cycling a lot more difficult.

July 9, 2025,Toller Radweg über den Damm – Uitzicht over de Oosterschelde Runde von Oostkapelle
A magnificent bike ride with beautiful beaches below the Kampweg and near Oostkapelle. The beautiful tree-lined avenues along the route are also impressive. A must-do.

Yesterday, we only "touched" the storm surge barrier, but today we cycled over it. The view was truly impressive.
On the other side, we cycled a bit further through the villages of Burgh and Haamstede. Haamstede kindly invited us to take a break.

Today I wanted to see water from 🌊both sides🌊 – so I hopped on my bike 🚴‍♀️ and cycled across the impressive Eastern Scheldt Ring to Burgh-Haamstede! When you think about Zeeland's painful history of great floods, you truly realize what wonderful wonders the engineers have created here. 🤩 What a gigantic structure!
Arriving on the Schouwen-Duiveland peninsula, I turned …

I split the route into two trips (outward and return). I wanted to add a little sightseeing, but it wasn't worth it. Aside from the many cafes and restaurants, as well as boutiques and other shops, I didn't find anything special about the city. And I had a windy return trip ahead of me... especially on the three long bridges. …

If you live in Vrouwenpolder and are looking for a day trip by bike, you can take this route!
From the start, it goes over the dunes past many beautiful stretches of beach directly over the monumental flood gates of Zeeland into the nature reserve between Vrouwenpolder and Westenshoven.
After leaving the water passage behind, you then head to the …

The storm was threatening, too bad! The original route has been cut short. As soon as we arrived at our destination, it rained...
Time for a shower, an improvised lunch in the room, then the storm having passed, we hiked all afternoon on foot in the surrounding dunes, then tasted a superb Pancake in the famous mill of the small …

Today, temperatures were much more pleasant than yesterday, and there was a pleasant sea breeze.
Ideal for a bike ride.
Since my wife preferred to stay with our four-legged friend, I grabbed my bike and headed to the storm barriers of the Oosterschelde.
We had already visited them in the early 80s, but they were still under construction back then. …
