Quick ride by bicycle from Middelburg to Flushing

This easygoing cycling route starts in Middelburg, the historic capital of Zeeland, known for its charming medieval city center, winding canals, and impressive abbey towers. Setting off, you’ll enjoy nearly 9 kilometers of smooth, mostly paved paths—the perfect way to take in the lush, flat scenery of the region. The ride follows dedicated cycleways for the most part, with stretches along quiet roads and maybe a brief passage through a pedestrian area.

With barely any hills (ascent and descent are minimal), this is a relaxing trip suitable for all levels. As you roll south, you’ll end at Flushing (Vlissingen), a lively port town famous for its long sandy beaches and bustling seafront boulevard. If the weather’s nice, consider grabbing a snack or just enjoying the sea breeze at the end of your ride. This route really highlights the best of Zeeland: beautiful landscapes, cycling-friendly infrastructure, and two quintessential Dutch towns at either end.
