Description
outelande, located in Holland, is a prime location for paragliders, especially due to its dunes, some of the highest in the Netherlands, reaching heights of 30 to 45 meters. These dunes provide ideal conditions for paragliding because of their height and the rising air currents. The official paragliding site is located at beach access number 10 (Vossehol) and is accessible to those with a B2 EASA license.
Besides paragliding, Zoutelande offers other appealing activities. The village is known for its many hours of sunshine, making it a popular destination for sun lovers. You can enjoy the south-facing beaches, beach pavilions, or the cozy cafes in the village. For hiking enthusiasts, there are trails winding through the dunes, offering magnificent views over Walcheren and the Westerschelde estuary. Also, you will find bunkers from World War II, as well as a museum dedicated to that era.
Each year, on the first weekend of October, Zoutelande hosts the Kustmarathon Zeeland, regarded as the most challenging marathon in the Netherlands. This event includes several races, such as a walking marathon, a women's run, and a mountain bike tour.
