Flavorful Walk in the Koudekerkse Inlaag

On the south coast of Schouwen, nature is given ample space to develop. With over 1300 hectares of saline nature, a beautiful string of pearls of new nature has been created for birds such as the oystercatcher, avocet, and redshank. Salt-tolerant plants such as glasswort and lesser sea-spurrey thrive here and display their beautiful red color in August.

Struggle Against the Water

During the walk, the Natuurmonumenten guide will take you through the history of the battle against the water, which has largely determined the landscape. Several villages have been swallowed by the water over the centuries. These drowned villages form a striking part of history and come to life again in numerous stories.

Salty Delights

During an adventurous walk along the Koudekerkse Inlaag, the scents of Zeeland delicacies will already greet you. Our nature chef serves various Zeeland delights, fresh and pure nature. Enjoy the small Zeeland snacks in peace and quiet with the sound of numerous coastal birds in the background.

Tips from the Forester:

Bring binoculars to see the animals up close; Preferably wear long trousers to prevent tick bites. Check your body afterwards for any ticks, just to be sure; For a toilet visit, you can go before or after the walk to the public toilets at restaurant Het Oliegeultje (Havenplateau 1, 4328 NT Burgh-Haamstede/ Burghsluis).
