Langelede Cycle Street

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Langelede was dug to enable the transport of peat.
The peat came from a bog area, owned by the abbey of Marquette. It is not clear when this happened, although it is known that the name 'langhe lee' first appeared in 1317. After the bog soils were exhausted, the Langelede fell into disuse. The revival came in 1775, when the Moervaart and Langelede were canalised to enable the drainage of excess water from Ghent. The route via the current Lange Boomstraat was replaced by a new section towards the Oudenburgse sluis. However, the treaty of 1839 limited the drainage to the Netherlands and the Langelede had to be dammed. Afterwards, it was still used for the transport of white sand and sugar beets.

Mussel Monument Philippine

Highlight • Monument

Mussel shell cast in a mixture of ground bluestone and synthetic resin, with a kind of water pipe through which water continuously flows over the mussel.
The mussel monument, created on the initiative of the artist himself, was unveiled on July 6, 1988 during the presentation of the mussel wine by Prof. Dr. Wisse Dekker and Nancy Cornelis, the mussel queen. The maker of the monument thought that his creation would look better if a bench was added.

Westerschelde Ferry Terminal

Highlight • Rest Area

Taking the ferry is always a bit of a journey...

The fast ferries sailing between Vlissingen and Breskens are exclusively for transferring cyclists, mopeds and pedestrians.

Cars drive through the Western Scheldt tunnel between Zeeuws-Vlaanderen and Zuid-Beveland. The sailing times are in line with the arrival and departure times of trains and buses.

The modern Ferries were built in 2004 by Damen Shipyards on behalf of the Province of Zeeland. The Fast Ferries have come to replace the large double-deck ferries that have disappeared due to the arrival of the Western Scheldt tunnel. The crossing that many people used to make every day is now only reserved for pedestrians and cyclists.

Sailing period: All year round.

Sailing days and sailing times: daily (see website for timetable)

Sailing time: 23 minutes.

Westerschelde Tidal Trail

Highlight • Trail

Amazing stretch of bike path that lies outside of the dikes. Tides have free play, so this path may even be under water sometimes. Put this in your route!
