From Dirksland you roll out on a route of 82.3 km, all of it paved. First comes the Grevelingen nature reserve, then the Kop van Schouwen nature reserve, before the Voordelta nature reserve opens up ahead. The Slikken van Flakkee nature reserve follows, and with just 87 m of climbing the pedals keep turning easily. Then it's back to Dirksland.
