After marking the polder, the village of Wissenkerke was founded in the middle of the 17th century. One of the two mills in Wissenkerke, called 'the Enterprise', still grinds the grain on natural strength. The impressive mill can be seen from afar.
Wissenkerke is also called the heart of Noord-Beveland, because here the town hall is located.
Another highlight in the village is the open air swimming pool "Het Wissebad". This is open from May to September. A swimming pool for everyone, from a shallow pool to starting blocks to dive from. Would you like to enjoy the sun, of course, also on the green sunbathing area.
There are kilometers of hiking and biking trails ready to show you the most beautiful places in Zeeland. The varied landscape of Zeeland lends itself well to exploring. Design the ideal route with the cycle-walking nodes network or choose one of the theme routes, such as the 'salty beaties'. Discover the unique nature, the picturesque villages in the neighborhood, quiet farmland paths or the incredibly wide beach. Especially at low tide you have the space here.

Nationaal park De Oosterschelde
A stone's throw away from Wissenkerke
The Oosterschelde is the largest and wettest national park in the Netherlands. It is a world of tides, wind and especially water, a lot of water. Because of the tide, the landscape is always different.
At low tide you see the plates and swallow, at high tide it is a game of wind and water. Underwater a beautiful colorful world. Pay attention because there are seals and porpoises to spot.
Behind the dikes reminders of the life of the Zeeuwen with the sea in the form of cart fields, inlets and creeks. Do you like to see the special (migratory) birds? Then you will certainly enjoy yourself in the bird watching huts.
