The Dutch population has been battling the water for centuries, and this certainly applies to shipping and Dutch skippers. Every day, they battle the elements to provide food for their families and the Dutch population. At the Afsluitdijk Wadden Center, you can experience how the construction of the Afsluitdijk protects the hinterland from storms and flooding. But what has the arrival of this dyke meant for Dutch shipping? Do they also benefit greatly from the Afsluitdijk, or does it present even more challenges? You can find out with our ‘Oan é Wyn’ combination package, in combination with the Frisian Shipping Museum in Sneek.
The starting price for the “Oan é Wyn” combo package is €39.50 per person. Your day could look something like this:
