Reiseführer Zeeland

Islands, peninsulas, and a piece of mainland: In Zeeland, life revolves around the sea. Polder landscapes and dune areas transition into endless long beaches that invite you to walk and sunbathe. No other place in the Netherlands enjoys as much sunshine as here. In addition to beach fun, idyllic harbor towns like Veere and Brouwershaven, as well as the historic city of Middelburg, provide cultural variety. Food lovers will also feel at home in Zeeland, as the North Sea and Oosterschelde are home to mussels, oysters, and lobsters, while fertile soil nurtures fruits and vines. Sports enthusiasts can look forward to excellent surfing and diving spots, beach rides, and the best conditions for cycling. Our Netherlands author, Ulrike Grafberger, has lived on the coast for 17 years. She takes readers on bike tours through the dunes, to fossilized shark tooth sites, into a walk-in hurricane machine, and to holiday homes that are not just by the beach but right on it. She also invites you to explore this popular region away from the main travel season: "When the storm howls around you in autumn or winter, apple pie and hot chocolate by the fireplace taste especially good!" Those who wish to discover Zeeland on their own will find detailed information about the region's history and culture, as well as all the must-see places in this travel guide. The second edition comes with a new preface and cover design and has been supplemented with additional content pages featuring the latest information. Families will appreciate the numerous extra tips for children. Local maps and overview maps, a detailed index, and numerous cross-references in the book ensure easy navigation on the go. A small Dutch language guide facilitates communication.
