Den Oever Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

We traveled across Afsluitdijk while touring in the Netherlands.  It was truly impressive to see how the small nation has kept the sea at bay (no pun intended).  At this stop near the middle of the structure, there is some history that explains how each stone was installed by hand, along with a great many other impressive metrics.  Worth the trip.

Den Oever is the last village before you go accros the 32 km Afsluitdijk, which separates the IJsselmeer from the Waddenzee. Great and fresh seafood in the harbour, do order "Kibbeling"!
