What is the Walcheren village tour?

Every year on the first Tuesday of August from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.!

The Walcheren Village Tour is a cycle tour for young and old. The tour has been organised for more than 25 years and takes place every year on the first Tuesday of August. The proceeds from the cycle tour go to Terre des Hommes, an organisation dedicated to children's rights. Together, we are working to end the exploitation of children in developing countries.

 

The cycle tour covers a total distance of 55 to 60 km and winds through picturesque villages, past swaying cornfields to the city centre of Middelburg. Participants will pass a stamp post every five kilometres. These may be located at a mini campsite, a windmill, a theatre or a farm. At the stamp posts, there will be activities and local products on offer. Choose one of the eleven stamp posts to start the cycle tour.

The Dorpentocht lottery: a tradition to enjoy


It has become a real tradition: the Dorpentocht Walcheren lottery! For more than 15 years, the prizes have been made possible by bicycle specialist Piet Voskamp, and we hope that this will be the case again this year. Who knows, you might walk away with a great prize this year – an extra reason to enjoy the tour to the fullest!
