Bike tour from Rotterdam

Before your bike tour in Zeeland begins, use the time to explore Rotterdam. The city has many facets. On the one hand, you will find the old town with several buildings worth seeing, such as the town hall and the Sint-Laurenskerk. On the other hand, Rotterdam is a trendy and chic artists' and shopping city with a modern skyline. Discover the large market hall with delicious delicacies or Europe's largest port on a round trip.

Leave Rotterdam behind you and cycle to Kinderdijk first. The small town's 19 world-famous windmills greet you from afar. It is an ideal spot for your first souvenir photo. A few leisurely kilometers further on you reach Dordrecht. The best way to explore Holland's oldest city is by whisper boat. The first stage of your cycle tour in Zeeland ends in Willemstad, a small, typically Dutch-fortified town.

You leave Willemstad and first reach the island of Goeree-Overflakkee. A true paradise for nature lovers: Extensive polders and nature reserves alternate with small villages with Dutch flair. Continue to the island of Schouwen-Duiveland, known for its beautiful beaches. You will find plenty of small boutiques in the harbor town of Zierikzee. The sunset is particularly beautiful during an evening stroll along the beach promenade.

The Zeeland Bridge is about 5 km long and takes you from Zierikzee to Noord-Beveland. The island lies between the Oosterschelde and the Veerse Meer. On the Walcheren peninsula, Fort Rammekens is well worth a visit. You can enjoy a magnificent view of the Westerschelde during a free tour. Afterward, take a stroll along the longest promenade in the Netherlands: the cool harbor town of Vlissingen is a great place to relax. Today's stage destination on your cycle tour in Zeeland is Middelburg, the capital of the Dutch province of Zeeland. There are plenty of sights to discover in the winding alleyways.

Your bike tour from Rotterdam today takes you north across the island. The landscape alternates between forests, old villages, and small towns. In the Kop van Schouwen nature reserve, you can completely forget about everyday life. Again and again, wide, golden sandy beaches invite you to take a dip in the cool water. The Delta Works are an absolute highlight. The largest storm surge barrier in the world is made up of a total of 13 structures. An imposing construction of dams, dykes, and locks. You will spend the night in the tranquil seaside resort of Ouddorp. The beach is also just around the corner.

You leave the island of Goeree-Overflakkee and cycle to the island of Vorne-Putten. The Harlingvlietdam is the sixth structure of the Delta Works and guides you with fantastic views over the sea. You then pass the medieval town of Brielle and the maritime Maassluis. There are plenty of listed buildings to discover in the historic town center. Via Vlaardingen and Schiedam, you finally reach Rotterdam, the starting point of your cycle tour. With lots of great impressions in your luggage, you can round off the evening in one of the many restaurants.
