Walking in and around Renesse

Renesse lies on the edge of the Kop van Schouwen, with dunes, woodland and Lake Grevelingen all within walking distance of the village.

• Dunes and woodland: the Kop van Schouwen starts right behind the village and includes several nature reserves, from the Zeepeduinen to Boswachterij Westerschouwen.
• Routes for everyone: choose between a short loop, a day walk or a long walking route across the whole island.
• Views: climb one of the viewpoints, such as the tower of the village church or a lookout tower in the dunes.
• Beach walk: at low tide the wide beach of Renesse is perfect for a long walk along the tideline.
