Province - Zeeland, Netherlands

 

The Dutch engineers threw their inventions between the capricious Atlantic Ocean and their cosy home country in a heroic way. Today, the “Eighth Wonder of the World“, the Delta Works and the Oosterscheldekering (a storm surge barrier), protects the inland of Zeeland from the violent moods of the ocean.

This picturesque puzzle made up of peninsulas and islands with the beautiful name “Zeeland” is located only two to three hours from the German frontier by car. The sea, the dunes and a salty breeze have turned Zeeland into one of the Netherlands most important centres for the whole family. Why should you squash into a crammed plane if there are a lot of possibilities for a relaxing holiday right in front of your doorstep?

Whether you look for a spacious holiday home behind the embankment near the kings seaside resort in Domburg, a holiday flat in the quiet city centre in Veere, a hotel room or a bungalow in Cadzand-Bad in order to look for shark teeth – Zeeland will fulfil any personal dream of successful holidays on the seaside.

Enjoy the view of the rugged dune landscape and the endless horizon on long bicycle and hiking tours. Dutch seaside towns such as Visslingen and the capital city Middelburg invite to stroll along the waterside promenades or to test the traditional art of eating fish on the local terraces.

Even little visitors will enjoy themselves in different adventure and pirate parks and are invited to try out sailors games which can be played on the beach right on the next day – armed with scoops and buckets.
