우스트플라키 최고의 사이클링 경로

Old foundation of the Grevelingendam cable car closure

Private property - tower is occupied.

Wonderful section of the route with views of water and fields.

Flamingos are often at the monument! Beautiful to view from the dike

At the end of the harbour canal of Oude Tonge you will find this lock. It is a pity that you cannot cross it as a pedestrian. That means a three to four kilometre detour. Don't worry, it will give you the opportunity to rest and have a drink in one of the cafés on the quay.

This small marina is located in the middle of the historical centre and is connected to a yacht canal of several kilometres. A beautiful place for a break.

Cycling along the water is never boring.

In 1971, the Grevelingenmeer with a surface area of 14,000 hectares was created by damming. In the past, the Grevelingen was mainly important for oyster and mussel farming. Now this salty lake is an attractive area for water sports. In addition, nature receives a lot of attention. For the benefit of pleasure craft, the Mosselbank has been located on the plate directly in front of the water sports island since 1990. On the other side is Herkingen on the former island of Goeree-Overflakkee. In your field of vision on the right you can see the Grevelingendam. It is one of the most important connections between Schouwen-Duiveland and the mainland. As part of the Delta Plan, this dam was built between Bruinisse and Goeree-Overflakkee in 1961-1965. The northern channel, the Bocht van Sint Jacob, was closed off by dumping a dam of stones using a cable car. On 1 April 1965, the Grevelingendam was opened to traffic.
