Route Summary
Ever since the early 90s of the last century, ANWB / Promoter has been setting out the so-called TankTasTocht (TTT). You understand that the name still comes from the GPS-free era, when motorcyclists still searched their way on inland roads with a roadbook in the tank bag or router roll. This TTT are touring through the Netherlands with the occasional trip to Belgium, Germany or even Luxembourg, which are driven 6 to 7 times a year. The 1st around March and the last around October. These TTTs have a starting point, a pause location and an end point. It is nice to discover what you have not seen in your own country and which nice roads you did not know before.
This TTT is from 2017, so the route may differ slightly from the original.
I have checked all route points and, where necessary, placed them neatly on the road. Also, if necessary, I have further set the starting point and end point of the route a little further apart to prevent navigation to the end point directly and added the POI files of the start and end point, as well as possible pause location (s).
Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MRA Navigation users.
Thanks to ANWB / Promoter.

RouteXpert Review
The 3rd Tank Bag Tour of 2017 has its starting point in West Brabant, and in Oud-Gastel. North Brabant, that is from east to west from sand to clay. From forest and drifting sand to sea inlets and tidal landscapes. The Biesbosch is there, the Baronie and Brabantse Wal. But it is also the birthplace of Van Gogh. But we are not going there. Did you know that Noord-Brabant is the epicenter of dance music, with Tiƫsto and Hardwell as the best-known representatives. You can nicely drive the route to the rhythm of this music, or, bend rhythm. Button that in your ears when you start from Oud-Gastel. Because you will ride bends.
The start in Oud-Gastel has only just fallen behind the horizon or you are already shaving along the Rosendaalsche Vliet. We follow the route to Dinteloord. If you do not know: here is the largest sugar factory in Europe. And they get all that sugar from sugar beet. And whoever has driven here during the sugar beet campaign never comes again. What a mess on the road. So beware, the sugar beet campaign is in September!
So soon we will be driving over the Volkerakdam to the South Holland Goeree-Overvlakke. On, because it was once an island. In Stellendam, you can enjoy a cup of coffee or lunch at the Haringvliet. And it's not over yet. There is more beautiful on the motorcycle menu.
You drive into the Zeeland Country over the Brouwersdam. That is vast, abandoned and above all flat. Apart from the dikes and wonder oh wonder: there are beautiful roads. After Renesse and Burgh-Haamstede, this Tank Bag Tour is almost over. The finish flag only finally falls in Colijnsplaat. That is on Noord-Beveland. (Source: Promotor 04-2017)
Because I have driven this route myself, this route gets 5 stars.
