Beautiful dike road

Highlight • Cycleway

Sheep, grass, sea and windmills. And rest. A beautiful cycle path over the dike, which you share with the grazing and sleeping sheep - so be careful!

The village cemetery and church had to make way for a raised dyke in the 1970s. As a memorial, there are now gravestones on the dyke showing the outline of the church and a monument.
