Den Oever

Travel Guide

We traveled across Afsluitdijk while touring in the Netherlands.  It was truly impressive to see how the small nation has kept the sea at bay (no pun intended).  At this stop near the middle of the structure, there is some history that explains how each stone was installed by hand, along with a great many other impressive metrics.  Worth the trip.

Den Oever is the last village before you go accros the 32 km Afsluitdijk, which separates the IJsselmeer from the Waddenzee. Great and fresh seafood in the harbour, do order "Kibbeling"!

Great location in center of Alkmaar! Shops & restaurants right outside the door. The hotel is beautiful and our room was great. The lofted room would not work well for someone with mobility challenges but worked well for us. Very responsive communication from the hotel! Would happily stay there ...
