Understand

Zeeland was subject to heavy flooding in 1953 during a north-wester storm at springtide. The Dutch government instituted the Delta Works to protect the province. The entire system of dams, dykes and bridges is present throughout the province and all the way up to Rotterdam in south holland.

Get in

Zeeland is in the south-west of the country. While all the islands are interconnected and connected to the mainland by fast roads now, the province still retains a somewhat insular nature, and it often turns out to be hard to combine a day-trip to Zeeland with trips to anywhere else.

Get around

As almost everywhere in The Netherlands exploring on bike is a good idea. Buses can be few a far in between. This is not the land of commuters.
