Renesse, Serooskerke, Burgh-Haamstede

Renesse has traditionally been known as a seaside resort. In recent years the village has developed into a real family seaside resort. The lords of Renesse were men of influence. Their castle, Moermond Castle, still exists and you will encounter it on this cycle route. Unfortunately, virtually nothing of the interior has been preserved due to the damage caused by the flood disaster.

Scharendijke has grown from a small hamlet into the cream of the crop for water sports enthusiasts. Then you move into the country. Cycle through the Zeeland polders and along the canals to Serooskerke. Lord Alard’s children founded a village that they called Sheralardskindskerke, later corrupted to Serooskerke. The dike broke in this village in 1953, causing the Schouwen polder to flood. New dikes created the De Schelphoek nature reserve, a beautiful nature reserve that attracts many birds.

You cycle along the Oosterschelde to Burgh-Haamstede, a place that is mainly known as a tourist area. In the summer many people find their way to the beaches. Here you will also find Haamstede Castle. You cycle back to Renesse through the nature of the Gadra Bos and Heideveld

Tijdens deze fietsroute begeef je je aan de rand van het rampgebied op het zwaar getroffen Zeeuwse Schouwen-Duiveland. Een groot deel van het eiland is weggevaagd, op de Kop van Schouwen na. Tijdens het opkomende water op 1 februari 1953 proberen boeren hun koeien, schapen en varkens hier de duinen in te jagen, op hoger land.
