afsluitdijk explored 28-01-2021
The Afsluitdijk is the flood defense between North Holland and Friesland, which closes off the IJsselmeer from the Wadden Sea. The dam takes its name from this. The Afsluitdijk is important to protect the Netherlands against flooding.
The Afsluitdijk is part of the Zuiderzee Works. Construction started in 1927. The last closing hole, the Vlieter, was closed in 1932. A year later, the dike was opened to road traffic. At the place where the Afsluitdijk was closed, a monument was erected, the Vlietermonument.
There are locks for shipping and sluices on both sides of the Afsluitdijk. It is the Stevinsluizen against North Holland. The Lorentz locks are located on Kornwerderzand, more than 4 km from Friesland. The entire dike is 32.5 km long, the water-retaining part of it 30 km.
