This TTT has its starting and finishing points in Terneuzen and goes mainly through beautiful roads via Sas van Gent, Sluis, Cadzand-Bad, Nieuwvliet-Bad, Breskens and Biervliet to the endpoint on the Otheensche Kreek in Terneuzen.
Quite soon after departure you arrive in Sas van Gent, where you can see the water flour mill, also known as the tidal mill *
* After the liberation of Sas van Gent on the Spaniards by Frederik Hendrik of Orange in 1644, the fortress was strengthened.
In order to provide food to the garrison and the city in the event of a possible siege, a water mill was built in 1696 in the ramparts. The water from the main channel could be diverted along the water corn mill, driving a mill wheel. The mill was bomb-free, so less vulnerable than a traditional mill, and in addition there were large storage rooms and a bakery.
The mill was built in 1696 and acted as a flour mill. There was a bakery next door. It was built in the ramparts to make it invulnerable for the ammunition of the time. After all, windmills showed greater vulnerability and flour mills were necessary for the food supply in times of siege. This mill, however, did not work so much on the tides and tides, because the water wheel was usually driven by excess polder water, which was subsequently drained to the channel.
The mill was located between the bastions Hollandia and Zeelandia. In 1747 a siege took place by the French in the context of the Austrian War of Succession, and then the mill was ground. From 1795 the demolition of the large fortress that Sas van Gent once started. The mill was then no longer used. The Zeelandia Bastion was also demolished from 1930-1935 and in 1951 the mill water was filled in. What remained was a wall with an opening through which the water once flowed. This was preserved in 1988.

After the possible viewing it continues and you enter Belgium, after a little less than 30 km you are back in the Netherlands and it's time for coffee, you can do this in Sint-Kruis at Café Zeelandia. After coffee it continues towards the coast, where you can stop at Retranchement and enjoy the view and take some pictures on top of the dike.
Then it goes along the coastline and you pass the famous seaside resorts where you can stop for a break, plenty of choice, then you leave the coastline and head towards Biervliet and then Terneuzen to close this TTT.

Because I have not (yet) driven this route myself, this route gets 3 stars.
