Round Brielse Meer

Water and land battling each other.

The Krabbeplaat is a long stretch of island. Salt and fresh water mix around the islands. When there is too much drought, fresh water is replenished, by man. This is important for drinking water supply, use in agriculture and nature. In Oostvoorne, the Biberbunker and the Dune Houses are worth seeing. When you arrive at Brielle, also known as Den Briel, you can probably tell by the shapes of the town. Brielle is an old fortified town. The fortress of Brielle, most of which dates from the 17th century, is a national monument. Peasant families had settled on the islands, but they were regularly flooded by the North Sea and the Meuse. The families built dikes to be able to continue living there. This is how Brielle was formed with the many islands around it. The bicycle route shows you how water and land are intertwined. From the small islands to the larger.
