Along Lines and Legends

Description

You cycle past historic water lines and through Zeeland's natural landscape, making for a unique experience. First you pass the Loofort and travel back to the time of the State-Spanish Lines where the fortress served strategic purposes. Next, this bike route takes you to Brandkreek, where you can discover traces of the Eighty Years' War and the historical past of the Netherlands. The winding watercourse speaks to the imagination of past military strategies and the natural boundaries that formed the landscape at the time.

The route also takes you past the Groote Gat near Sint Kruis, a peaceful natural area that contrasts with the turbulent war history. The Toniobosje lets you enjoy the tranquility of a protected oak coppice forest while unraveling unsuspected history stories. To conclude your tour, you will pay tribute to Dutch history at the National Monument "The Dutch Virgin" in Eede, a tribute to Queen Wilhelmina and the liberation of the Netherlands. More than just a ride, this bike tour is a living history lesson amidst the serene Zeeland landscape.
