Cycling the dikes

From our property, you can cycle straight onto the cycling network: quiet little dike roads, flower-filled verges and beautiful views across the polder.

Meadows & walking

In the surrounding countryside, you’ll find plenty of farmland, meadows and quiet polder roads. Head out on foot and enjoy the open spaces, the beautiful views and the Zeeland countryside.

Nature & birds

The Zeeland polder is a lovely place for birdwatchers. With a little luck, you might spot all sorts of birds in the meadows, along the dikes and by the water. Feel free to bring your binoculars.

Seasons in the polder

Yellow rapeseed in spring, beehives along the fields, wheat in summer. Every season brings a different look to the landscape — and a different scent.
