570648 Walking at Den Oever

With this walk you will discover the charm of Den Oever, a beautiful town on the east coast of Wieringen. You also walk a bit across the former Zuiderzee island.

Monumental church
You start the route with a terrace at Restaurant Basalt in the harbor of Den Oever, near the beautiful former lighthouse from 1884. Further on you walk past De Hoop, a beautiful thatched corn mill from 1675. A little later you walk through the polder. It's so nice and quiet here on Wieringen! In Oosterland you walk past the eleventh-century Michael's Church, built in Romanesque style. It is built entirely of tuff stone. Striking: the spire is made of brick!

Afsluitdijk
From 1918 to 1923, Wieringen served as a place of exile for the fled German Crown Prince Wilhelm. The story goes that a farrier from Hippolytushoef taught him how to forge. You can walk at your leisure through the polder back to Den Oever. Here you can take a look at the place where the Afsluitdijk comes ashore.

Restaurant Basalt is located at the harbor of Den Oever. A special part of the Netherlands, because Den Oever is located on the former island of Wieringen. From Basalt you can cycle beautifully over the Wieringse moraine and the surrounding watery polder landscape. You can enjoy your coffee or meal from the cozy terrace at Basalt, while looking out over the fishing port. Who knows, one of the fishermen may have just delivered the fish that is on your plate. Restaurant Basalt has ample parking.

The most famous windmill type in the Netherlands. Windmills were used not only to produce flour from cereals, but also to reclaim polder areas. Natural energy. The most famous windmills can be found in Kinderdijk, really set up as a polder model. A must see!
