Beautiful sandy beaches line the island Schouwen-Duiveland. You will cycle through the poldern landscape, which is reminiscent of a mosaic, past dunes and sandbanks before you return to the mainland. The centre of the small fortress town Willemstad is home to numerous well-restored buildings from the 17th and 18th century. The town centre forms a seven-pointed star, which is completely surrounded by water.
Day 5: Willemstad – Dordrecht – Papendrecht, approx. 65 km
You will cross the Hollands Diep river and cycle along the national park De Biesbosch – a unique freshwater tidal wetland, which was created after a large flood in 1421. Hundreds of birds breed in this labyrinth of streams and islands. Dordrecht, which is located on the island with the same name, is Holland’s oldest town.

Take a break at Holland’s most famous windmills on your journey North. 19 windmills stand in a row in Kinderdijk, which were built to pump water from the polders into the river Lek.
