June 4

Kamperland to Bruges

Includes 30 minute late afternoon ferry that transports you across the Western Schelde [schedule]

  • From the center of Kamperland, follow the N255 to Domburg 20, Middelburg 17, and Burghaamstede 17.
  • Follow signs all the way to Middelburg
  • Middelburg makes a great lunch stop. I especially like the poffertes, tiny Dutch pancakes available at several local cafes.
  • From Middelburg, follow signs to Vlissingen, turning when necessary.
  • 27.0 As you reach Vlissingen, follow signs on the N58 to Engleland and Breskens. To reach Breskens the ferry runs every 20 and 50 minutes past the hour. Crossing cost is 2.90 including your bike.
  • As you exit the ship, follow the N58 toward Schoondijke, Sluis and Oosturg. About 3 km ahead turn RIGHT toward Groede 3, and Cadzand 11 km
  • Follow signs to Cadzand and Cluis. You'll pass Groede. Don't turn off for Cadzand-head for Sluis 6 and Knokke 15. You'll see signs for Sluis and Bruges.
  • 51.0 In Sluis, there are marked and Bruges is 18km away.
  • Follow the LF1 path left to Bruges 15 km. There's a VVV on your left just past the turnoff.
  • 53.0 Belgium. In Hoeke, continue to Oostkerke and Damme, following the LF1
  • After Damme (windmill, market) Bruges in 5 km.
  • 71.0 Bruge
