Resting area Oosterland

  • Oosterland

    Stage 7

For a long time, Wieringen was the smallest of the Wadden Islands, about ten kilometers long and two to three kilometers wide. After the sea inlets were closed, the Wieringermeer was reclaimed, and the Afsluitdijk was built, the island became enclosed by the mainland. Yet the Wieringers still live on Wieringen, and for those who take a good look, the island is still clearly visible in the rolling fields and meadows. The Wadden character seeps through the cracks of the surrounding polder landscape. Boulder clay ridges, winding roads, distinctive hedgerows, historic hamlets, dikes, and creeks give Wieringen its own atmosphere and rhythm. Stubborn and freedom-loving—that’s what the Wieringers have been for centuries.
