Peeping at the neighbours
The wind through your hair. The salty sea in the air. The green landscape glides past your eyes. Old dykes, windmills, farmhouses and authentic centres pop up in it. Peace and space framed by Oosterschelde National Park. Everything falls away from you here.
Visit our Zeeland neighbours
From Brabantse Wal, you can easily reach the island of Tholen. A bridge connects the two areas. An island that is definitely worth a visit for residents and visitors to Brabantse Brabantse Wal!
Whether you like to discover history, experience the diverse culture of the Zeelanders or unwind in the island's beautiful nature: there is something for every visitor.
Tholen has only one stoplight on the entire island, so it is not for nothing that it is part of the 5-star cycling province of Zeeland. Tholen has a beautiful and well-maintained cycling network, making every bike ride a breathtaking experience. The walking route network also invites you to take special walks. Consider, for example, the interactive Pearl Route that tells the story of Sint Philipsland.
Island of polders, mud flats and salt marshes
Tholen is an island in the east of Zeeland. It is a vast polder landscape where the salty smell of the sea hangs over the meadows. Inside the dykes, Tholen is mainly agricultural land, outside the dykes are vast salt marshes and mud flats: two mud flats that are flooded twice daily by the tide. Croplands overflow into nature reserves and almost everywhere on Tholen you have the horizon as your view.
City and region
Many beautifully preserved buildings and national monuments really take you back in time and allow you to discover the island's fascinating history. Eye-catchers are the Watersnoodhuis, located in the old town hall of Stavenisse, and the Roosevelt Information Centre. This centre tells the story of the Roosevelt family who originally came from Oud-Vossemeer and how they eventually ended up in America. Streekmuseum de Meestoof is also worth a visit and gives a good overview of life in Tholen and Sint Philipsland in the past.
And if you also want to enjoy delicious local produce at home, a visit to the Zeeuwse Streekproductenveiling in St Annaland is not to be missed.
This combined with the many events and atmospheric restaurants with delicious local produce and fresh fish makes Island Tholen a true Valhalla for every visitor! Visit the website of Eiland Tholen.
