The Oosterschelde Storm Surge Barrier was built between 1976 and 1986 after the devastating 1953 flood. It's a great example of Dutch engineering on all disciplines, but most importantly, the large construction and dredging companies. The barrier is 9 kilometres long and has 65 enormous concrete pillars with 62 steel barriers between them. Those barriers are normally open, allowing the Oosterschelde to remain a tidal area. Only with storm surges will the barriers be closed. There is a motorway on the barrier but also a very wide bicycle road. .

If you are interested in history and human accomplishment, check out what the people of the Netherlands have done to fight against the sea and prevent devastating disasters such as the North Sea Flood of 1953.

Impressive engineering.

Great construction protecting our country

impressive technological Dutch feat, built to protect a large area of land from the sea. A must-see while in Netherlands.

A landmark of the Dutch’s incredible engineering. And the beaches are fabulous. Bring a bicycle and enjoy the view. But be careful, it is quite windy !

Niece views and many wind turbines 😀

The tower stands all alone in the middle of nowhere. This was a nice surprise. There is no real indication that you can enter but when you do, there is an automatic exposition on history and its surroundings . You can get all the way up for a great vieuw of the sea and surroundings. The start of thr stairs are quite steep, use the rope.

Great mark in locals history, funny to visit although not much to do except walking/hiking

Little museum inside a tower, telling the story of the drunken villages and the nature surrounding the Oosterschelde. From the top you have a beautiful few of the surroundings and if you're lucky, you can even spot seals resting on the sand banks

Beautiful old tower, you can go inside before 6pm, there is a movie and nice view point.

a cute exhibition and clear explanations, it's free to the public and you can climb all into the top

Nice place to view the North Sea and area around. It's free entry.

Due to Corona it is closed. Ask the guys on the souvenir stand next to the tower. They maintain a waiting list and allow people to go upstairs in small groups.

We did the family tour on 2 dec when its cold and wet. I think in the summer this boat will be packed but now it was cosy with not a lot of people. We saw 1 dolphin and 1 seal. But tide was high so no sandbanks rising up. Next to that, the boat is good has all facilities, nice staff and food.

excellent boat tour. Friendly owners and staff. The presentation was really engaging too! We loved that it was audible, clear, packed with interesting facts and importantly it wasn't the whole time so we could chat too. We saw seals and porpoises too! Recommend! 😀👍

Nice cruise around the Oosterschelde with friendly staff, not too crowded and excellent attention for COVID-19 measures. Good value for money and a good alternative for the Neeltje Jans Park if you’re only interested in the scenic cruise.

The nature trip was absolutely wonderful! And I say that without even fully understanding the guide as I do not know Dutch or German. The number of passengers was very reasonable, the boat was not crowded. We saw sea pigs, seals and loads and loads of birds, it was amazing!

The Tour is nice. You can see seals, lots of birds and with a little luck dolphins. The operators could speak a little louder though.

good tour very friendly crew

Nice way to learn about a part of Netherlands

Old school! Quite literally. It's fun to sorta see how it was back in the day.

(Translated by Google) The museum is in a former school and comprises a total of three rooms. 1 room is set up like a classroom. Here everything can be touched and really experienced. The other two rooms have a Viking and fruit/flower theme. There is also a small museum shop and a herb garden where every visitor can take something with them if they want. The museum is run by volunteers and the ladies really put a lot of effort into explaining everything and reliving the history of the Burgh. Even though it's only a small museum, I easily spent an hour here. And the entrance fee is completely justified. What I have to mention, however, is that dogs are not allowed in the museum. I had my furry friend in a backpack and that was fine. (Original) Das Museum ist in einer ehemaligen Schule und umfasst insgesamt drei Räume. 1 Raum ist wie ein Klassenzimmer eingerichtet. Hier kann alles angefasst und wirklich erlebt werden. Die anderen beiden Räume sind mit dem Thema Wikinger und Obst / Blumen ausgestellt. Dazu gibt es auch noch ein kleiner Museumsshop so wie ein Kräutergarten wo sich jeder Besucher wenn er möchte etwas mitnehmen darf. Das Museum wird von Freiwilligen geführt und die Damen haben sich wirklich sehr viel Mühe gegeben alles zu erklären und die Geschichte von Burgh wiederzubeleben. Auch wenn es nur ein kleines Museum ist habe ich locker eine Stunde hier verbracht. Und der Eintrittspreis ist vollkommen gerechtfertigt. Was ich jedoch erwähnen muss - Hunde sind in dem Museum nicht gestattet. Ich hatte meine Fellnase in einem Rucksack und das war dann auch in Ordnung.

(Translated by Google) Very small museum, very nice to have seen enthusiastic volunteers with a story about the school there was also an exhibition of archaeological finds in the area and artists from the area, and a madder plant in the garden, Zeeland was known for this plant, which produced red dye and brought in a lot of money before dyes were chemically manufactured. (Original) Heel klein museum, erg leuk om gezien te hebben enthousiaste vrijwilligers met een verhaal over het schooltje er was ook een expositie van archeologische vondsten in de buurt en kunstenaars uit de omgeving, en een meekrap plantje in de tuin, Zeeland was bekend door deze plant, die rode kleurstof opleverde en veel geld in het laatje bracht voordat kleurstoffen chemisch werden gefabriceerd.

(Translated by Google) It was quite an experience to be back in school as a small child. Old-fashioned, just like in the early 1950s. The classroom is nicely decorated, everything very recognizable, including the "plain" and the "unlucky" one. Moreover, the two volunteers who were there enthusiastically provided anecdotes. Highly recommended. It's also fun for groups, where a teacher will accompany them. There's also a space where paintings, sculptures, etc., are exhibited, this time by a local celebrity. There's also a nice little shop with small trinkets. In short, just go there. (Original) Het was een hele belevenis om weer als klein kind in de schoolbanken te kunnen zitten. Ouderwets zoals begin jaren vijftig het geval was. Leuk ingericht lokaal, alles zeer herkenbaar. Ook de plak en de pechvogel. Bovendien werd het heel enthousiast voorzien van anekdotes door de 2 vrijwilligers die er aanwezig waren. Echt een aanrader. Ook voor groepen leuk. Dan komt een docent het begeleiden. Bovendien is er een ruimte waar schilderijen, beeldhouwwerken etc. worden geëxposeerd. Dit keer van een lokale beroemdheid. Ook een leuk winkeltje met kleine hebbedingetjes. Kortom gewoon langs gaan.

(Translated by Google) Very nice that this has been preserved. The lady said that she had gone to school there herself and had a tame crow that stayed at school when they were in class. Also that an artist once had it and that they subsequently restored it to its former glory. (Original) Erg leuk dat dit bewaard is gebleven. De mevrouw vertelde dat ze er zelf op school haf gezeten en een tamme kraai had die bij school bleef als hun in de klas zaten. Ook dat er ooit een kunstenaar had gewoon en dat ze het daarna weer in ere hebben hersteld.

(Translated by Google) Nice little local history and school museum with a very interesting exhibition currently (September 2020) about the liberation of the region from German occupation at the end of the Second World War. Small and nice! (Original) Schönes kleines Heimat- und Schulmuseum mit aktuell (September 2020) sehr interessanter Ausstellung über die Befreiung der Region von der deutschen Besatzung zu Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Klein und fein!

(Translated by Google) Nice little museum for a low price. The ladies who look after the museum are very friendly. The children were allowed to touch a lot and play school. (Original) Nettes kleines Museum für kleinen Preis. Die Damen, die das Museum betreuen, sind sehr freundlich. Die Kinder durften viel anfassen und Schule spielen.

Amaxing view

(Translated by Google) A fantastic club with fantastic members. I have already made 3 flights here, the last of which allowed me to fly myself! For everyone who is around here: you should try gliding at least once! (Original) Een fantastische club met fantastische leden. Ik heb hier inmiddels al 3 vluchten gemaakt, waarbij ik bij de laatste ook zelf mocht vliegen! Voor iedereen die hier in de buurt is: zweefvliegen moet je een keertje doen!

(Translated by Google) Very nice pilots and club members. They enjoyed explaining things. Gliding is an experience, you should really do it at least once. (Original) Hele aardige piloten en club leden. Ze vonden het leuk om dingen uit te leggen. Zweefvliegen is een ervaring, dit moet je echt een keer doen.

(Translated by Google) Quite an experience! It is possible to fly with someone on Sunday for 40 euros. Flight lasts 10-25 minutes and is more like a roller coaster than you would expect from gliding! Recommended (Original) Een hele ervaring! Het is mogelijk om er op zondag met iemand mee te vliegen voor 40 euro. Vlucht duurt 10-25 minuten en heeft meer weg van een achtbaan dan je van zweefvliegen zou verwachten! Aanrader

(Translated by Google) Enjoyed the beautiful view up in the sky. Now I understand that it is difficult to get in and fly with it. Is mainly a flying school and not commercially minded This means that aircraft are not always available. Luckily I was lucky 😃. Thank you👍👍👍 (Original) Genoten van het mooie uitzicht boven in de lucht. Snap nu dat het moeilijk is om er tussen te komen om mee te vliegen. Is hoofdzakelijk een Vliegschool en niet commercieel ingesteld Zodoende dat er niet altijd vliegtuigen beschikbaar zijn. Ik had gelukkig wel het geluk 😃. Bedankt👍👍👍

(Translated by Google) Haamstede Flying Club, if you don't want to fly you should go here. An extremely chaotic ball tent. (Original) Vliegclub Haamstede, als je niet wilt vliegen moet je hier naar toe gaan. Een enorm chaotische ballentent.

(Translated by Google) Here the lighthouse stands in the middle of the houses. Very big and beautiful. But property is private. You should stick to that too.

We passed by on a hot day in August with the family to hide from the midday sun. Inside we played bowling at 27 eur for one hour. There are four lines available. Relaxes atmosphere with bowling balls of all sizes. Crocodile ramp available for toddlers. Different modes as well available to play. Billiard table in ok condition, cues not so much. Indoor playground was empty and our toddler didn’t like it much. Relaxed atmosphere. Outside parking contained electric charging stations at high speeds. Looks a bit of an old place.

Big playground for children. Friendly, cheap. Have not eaten here, so rating only on price, customer service and facilities for children.

22.5 for one hour bowling ...think twice before coming

The kids loved it.

I love it there

Nice place

(Translated by Google) A very nice mini golf course. Not too challenging, but not too easy either. It's visually appealing, and both the holes and the course are very well maintained. The price is reasonable, and there are shady seats along the side, even in the midday sun. (Original) Sehr schöne Minigolf Anlage. Nicht zu anspruchsvoll, aber auch nicht zu einfach. Optisch schön und sowohl die Bahnen als auch der Platz ist sehr gepflegt. Preislich passt und selbst in der Mittagssonne gibt es am Rand Sitzplätze im Schatten.
