Icon description route Description

Park in Hoedekenskerke near the charming little church or come by steam train from Goes! https://www.destoomtrein.nl

The hike takes you through country roads, unpaved paths, and dikes along the beautiful Western Scheldt and surrounding polders. Discover the many farms (chicory, fruit, livestock, onion farming, ...) that often offer additional tourist attractions. The orchards, in particular, have conquered a lot of polder space here (spring blossoms!). This hike can be very peaceful and secluded during the quiet winter season but quite busy in some places during the high season.

There you'll find, of course, the stunning views, charming villages, the nature reserve "De Zwaakse Weel," and other tourist attractions like the Tropical Zoo.

In winter, there is a café halfway in Kwadendamme (no. 31) where you can also take the steam train back if you wish. Walking shoes recommended. Dogs not allowed in some sections.

Tip: Walk on top of the dike from no. 15-34 (Scheldt + polders!)
