Vrouwenpolder is a Dutch village in the south-west of the country, surrounded by the inland waters of the Veerse Meer and the picturesque North Sea. Thanks to its good location, it is an ideal holiday destination for families planning a camping holiday with their children. Guests with dogs are also welcome here: Kilometres of white sandy beaches tempt you to take long walks.
The small village is located on the seemingly endless North Sea coast, so holidaymakers can choose between campsites in Vrouwenpolder directly on the beach or in the idyllic inland area. Thanks to the secluded location, those seeking peace and quiet will feel particularly at home. The town centre is surrounded by cute cafés and small shops and culture lovers can look forward to visiting the Protestantse Kerk in late Gothic style.
Vrouwenpolder is now known as an important seaside resort. The beach around Vrouwenpolder is a particularly attractive destination for surfers and kite surfers. The romantic landscape with grassy dunes is ideal for long walks. Visitors can also see the famous Delta Works from here.
If guests are travelling from the Munich area, they can choose a route that is around 870 km long. It leads past Nuremberg and Frankfurt am Main to Cologne. Culture vultures can plan a detour to the beautiful old town of Nuremberg or visit the world-famous Cologne Cathedral. After Aachen, travellers drive a few kilometres on the Dutch motorway until they reach the Belgian border. After a short stop in the lively metropolis of Antwerp, Vrouwenpolder is about 90 kilometres away.
The other route is roughly the same length and takes you through the small state of Luxembourg, across Belgium past Namur and Brussels to the Dutch border. You should plan a short stopover in the charming town of Namur. From here, it is only a few kilometres to the finish, and there are several routes to choose from if you are travelling from Leipzig. On the approximately 730-kilometre route, camping enthusiasts pass the picturesque cities of Kassel, Essen and Eindhoven before reaching the Belgian border. The journey continues past Antwerp to Vrouwenpolder. The route with its unique cities such as Wolfsburg, Hanover and Rotterdam is over 760 kilometres long. From Hamburg it is just under 590 kilometres - passing Bremen, Osnabrück and Rotterdam.
The tranquil and paradisiacal landscape around Vrouwenpolder allows holidaymakers to switch off completely and recharge their batteries. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy long cycle tours in the Manteling nature reserve.
The historic towns of Domburg and Middelburg are just a few kilometres from Vrouwenpolder. The most popular sights in Domburg include the stately Protestant church in the centre and the imposing 28-metre-high water tower, which travellers can see from afar. Those interested can visit the late Gothic town hall or the Zeeuws Museum in traditional Middelburg and learn all about the history of the battle with the water. The Delta Works also bear witness to this period. Winding alleyways with historic canal houses and cute shops invite you to take a stroll.
The wide and very shallow beach in Vrouwenpolder entices families with children to swim and relax. Younger guests can splash around in the shallow tideways and holidaymakers with four-legged friends can enjoy some wonderful time out on the separate stretches of coastline for dogs. Water sports enthusiasts also get their money's worth here: the water conditions are ideal for surfing or kitesurfing. Windsurfers can gain their first experience in the Veerse Meer and the curious can try out stand-up paddling (SUP). Domburg - which has been recognised as a Healing Seaside Resort - also boasts very clean beaches, good water quality and wonderfully refreshing, salty sea air.
Dutch cuisine is characterised by dishes with lots of meat, fish and vegetables. In the centre of Vrouwenpolder there are stalls selling fresh fish or regional produce, which are then used to prepare delicious meals. Zeeland is known for its excellent dishes with mussels, oysters and crayfish.
A very well-known dish is the so-called stamppot - a stew with various vegetables and mashed potatoes, sometimes with kale added. Pea soup is also a favourite dish for the colder months of the year. If you prefer something sweet, you should try the so-called oliebollen with your coffee. These are deep-fried dough dumplings with sultanas and currants. French fries with mayonnaise and ketchup or with a spicy peanut sauce are popular snacks.
The Netherlands has a temperate maritime climate. Thanks to its proximity to the North Sea, the warmth is retained so that temperatures are relatively mild at around 3 degrees Celsius in winter. In summer, the thermometer rises to around 21 degrees Celsius and is ideal for long day trips to the beach or hikes inland. The water temperature in August averages 17 degrees Celsius. The pleasant spring and autumn months are ideal for exploring the surroundings of Vrouwenpolder. You can visit historic towns such as Domburg or Middleburg or go on unforgettable cycle tours through the varied landscape of Walcheren.
