About the region

Ancient dikes protect oyster beds where Gothic towers rise from maritime trading harbors.

Zeeland, the smallest province of the Netherlands, boasts a unique coastline and rich maritime history. Known for its dikes and natural reserves, this region is famous for the Delta Works, a series of dams and barriers that protect the land from the sea. Middelburg, the capital, features stunning Gothic architecture, while the town of Veere offers a glimpse into its trading past with its historic harbor. The area is also renowned for its seafood, particularly oysters and mussels. Zeeland's islands, such as Walcheren and Tholen, provide tranquil landscapes and opportunities for cycling and birdwatching, making it a haven for those looking to connect with nature and local culture.
