The place and its people

Dunes on the North Sea

Zoutelande lies on Walcheren in Zeeland, right behind the dunes on the North Sea coast.

Our favourite places depend on the flying site: in Zeeland we can fly from south-south-east to north-east, at most an hour's drive. With an east or south-east wind we use a meadow by the sea, but most of the time we're out at one of the flying sites – preferably right in Zoutelande. In the evenings we sit together at base camp on Camping Valkenisse or in Zoutelande and celebrate our flying experiences over a Grimbergen.

Launch sites

Dune soaring in Zoutelande

The main dune is right in Zoutelande; in Zeeland we fly from south-south-east to north-east, at most an hour's drive.

  • Zoutelande dune

    Launch on the dune, a maximum of 15 pilots in the air. Handling at the foot of the launch site, because we split the group by ability – the gulls are there, in the air to follow and on the ground. Dune soaring in west to south-west winds.

    Wind: W – SW Level: Beginner & intermediate

After flying

Our favourite restaurant

Strandpaviljoen De Zeeuwse Rivièra

This is where we meet on the first evening – which is why it holds a special meaning for us. Kibbeling, Grimbergen and the view of our main dune.

    The dune at Wijk aan Zee is a bit different from Hvide Sande. I was there twice: still unsure the first time, with great calm the second.
