136 Reviews
Built to protect Amsterdam and the other coastal towns from flooding by the sea, the Afsluitdijk or Enclosing Dike is an amazing feat of Dutch engineering. Stretching 20 miles (32 kilometers across the water, Afsluitdijk is both a dam and a motorway connecting the province of Noord-Holland with Friesland. The damming of the sea also created a freshwater lake called the Ijsselmeer.
