Village centre and milling operations

De Korenhalm adds its own distinctive touch. The mill is still in operation and grinds flour weekly for the mill shop.

Walking: railway station and Zwaakse Weel

Only railcars stop at ’s-Gravenpolder-’s-Heer Abtskerke station. At the same time, the station is a starting point for walks. At the Zwaakse Weel, a route runs downstream along the banks and past the village of 's-Gravenpolder. The direction of the river provides this route with a fixed orientation, while its course through the village maintains the connection with the village. There is also a 4.5-kilometre red walking route at the Zwaakse Weel, which can be extended via a 3.5-kilometre blue route. The 4.5 kilometres of the red route form a clearly defined section; the blue route adds extra distance. For a walk, the red section remains a route in its own right, while the additional section supports a longer day of walking.

Also exploring by bicycle

Cycling offers another route option. The 25-kilometre Doortraproute Zuid-Beveland leads in the direction of 's-Gravenpolder. On this route, the specific distance of 25 kilometres is central to planning the day. The direction towards 's-Gravenpolder also gives the tour a clear geographical reference. The specified length of 25 kilometres gives the Doortraproute a clear and concrete framework for planning the day on this tour.
