Nearby is the former island of Wieringen, the land of the Vikings! When you look closely at the landscape, it looks very different here from the surrounding polder, full of winding roads, with flowering linden trees and lambs in the meadow. Cross the area and meet the Wadden Sea and the IJsselmeer, which is bisected by the Afsluitdijk with international award-winning allure. Are you a fish lover, and the fish can't be fresh enough for you? Then come to the Zee-verse Vismarkt in Den Oever. Straight from the fishing boats onto your plate. mmmm delicious!
