\u201c<\/span>There's plenty to discover in the region: winding dykes, small villages and sheltered polders invite you to set off at your own pace.\u201d<\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

A place where contrasts reinforce each other. Small-scale polders, dikes, and village forests form a living landscape park. Here, nature goes hand in hand with industry and port activity. Quiet villages lie beside vital business, with space for people and development. In Borsele, you feel the power of the landscape and the dynamics of the future, firmly rooted in Zeeland's soil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n The landscape\n <\/span>\n\n \n The landscape\n <\/span>\n <\/h2>\n

In Landschapspark Borsele, you will find a unique piece of Zeeland. The landscape dates back to the 12th century. Until then, seawater still had free rein, but in the Middle Ages, people built the first dykes. Small polders were created, some of which have been preserved in certain places. The winding dykes, tidal creeks, numerous orchards, and the fifteen characteristic villages together form an attractive landscape. The busy Westerschelde marks the southern border of the landscape park. The open water and the mudflats and salt marshes that dry out at low tide offer an ever-changing view. The landscape park has known turbulent times. Wars were fought here, lines were defended, and heroes were born. Traces in the landscape, ruins, and restored monuments refer to these intense times. The old agricultural past is also still visible in historic farms and mills.<\/p>\n

The landscape is our most important unique asset, partly created by nature reserves. Areas where you can admire the flora and fauna, sometimes from a distance but often on foot or by bike. Get to know all this beauty here and venture into nature to discover it for yourself. Walking along quiet roads and ancient dikes, this has been made even more beautiful and easier in Landschapspark Borsele. The \u2018Sporen in de Zak\u2019 (Traces in the Bag) walking network connects over 180 kilometres of routes along paths, dikes and roads. You can also cycle here beautifully. You will cycle along winding dikes and through watery nature reserves, along newly constructed cycle paths but also along unpaved country lanes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

\n \n Villages\n <\/span>\n\n \n Villages\n <\/span>\n <\/h2>\n

Our 15 villages, often featuring distinctive squares, are situated as hubs in the ancient polders. To enhance the appeal of the Borssele villages, considerable effort has been invested in their redevelopment over the years. In this process, the preservation of the original form and historical value of the buildings was paramount. Consequently, our villages have remained true gems.<\/p>\n
