Neeltje Jans is an artificial island in Zeeland that was created during the construction of the Oosterscheldekering, one of the most important parts of the Delta Works. Originally designed as a working island, it was later transformed into a multi-purpose tourist destination and nature park. The island is located between Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland and offers impressive views of the storm surge barrier, the Oosterschelde and the Zeeland Bridge. From here you can admire the technical masterpieces of the Delta Works as well as the natural beauty of the largest Dutch national park. Neeltje Jans is known for its diverse activities and attractions: visitors can experience interactive exhibitions about the 1953 flood disaster and the construction of the Delta Works, observe seals and porpoises in their natural habitat or enjoy the vastness of the Oosterschelde on a boat trip. The island also offers excellent hiking opportunities along the dunes and coasts, which offer impressive views of the sea and the surrounding landscape.

A view over the Oosterschelde offers an impressive panorama of the largest national park area in the Netherlands. The Oosterschelde covers an area of about 370 square kilometers and is separated from the open sea by the Delta Project with its iconic storm surge barriers. The region is known for its rich flora and fauna, including seals, porpoises and a variety of bird species, which can be observed particularly well on the numerous sandbanks and salt marshes. For cyclists and hikers, the area around the Oosterschelde is an ideal destination. Along the dikes and on the cycle paths you can enjoy the coastal landscape up close. The viewpoints, such as at the Oosterscheldekering, offer a wide view over the water and the impressive structure of the storm surge barrier itself, which was built as part of the Dutch fight against sea floods. Boat trips make it possible to experience maritime nature even more intensively, for example through seal safari tours or whale watching, which take place especially in summer. The tides shape the landscape, and at low tide you can discover the vast mudflats.

A beautiful cycling route through nature.

The drowned black polder near Nieuwvliet-Bad is a polder that was reclaimed from the sea and dammed in 1623, but which the North Sea reclaimed in a major storm surge in 1802: the dyke broke and the resulting hole flooded the land.

During quiet moments you can cycle through it with wide tires, otherwise you can take a walk, which is beautiful to see.

Easy connection between houses and the drowned polder
