Hiking
The Papenkreek, a peaceful nature reserve just outside Middelburg, is a hidden gem for hikers who appreciate the combination of water and history. This ancient creek landscape was created during floods in the Middle Ages and is now an oasis of tranquility. The hiking trails meander past reed fields and water features, where you can often see swans, ducks and dragonflies. The area is perfect for a quiet walk, while enjoying the rich flora and fauna. For those interested in history, Middelburg itself is worth a visit with its beautiful abbey and old streets full of character.
