Hiking
When it comes to leisure, Walcheren is everyone’s friend. Nature and culture go hand in hand here. Especially along the coast of Zeeland, the landscape lets us see its different faces. De Manteling protects the hinterland of northwest Walcheren between Domburg and Oostkapelle against the relentless sea wind. Here is an oak forest of over two hundred years old. And yet the trees are no higher than one meter. The forester calls them the ‘Zeeland bonsai trees’: shaved by the cutting west wind and the salt dust.
Numerous hiking, cycling and riding trails lead along beautiful countryside. Everywhere you see hawthorn, the most characteristic bushes of Walcheren. The coastline is also renowned for its spring and autumn migration of tens of thousands of birds.
