Delfzijl Seawall

Highlight • Monument

Like in a picture book: On one side the sea, next to it the dike and a well-developed cycle path. You can still see one or two bunkers nearby.

August 27, 2025,Markttag in Delfzijl

Today's tour took us to the market in Delfzil. It was heavily advertised everywhere. Accordingly, the anticipation was great... but then the disappointment was also great. Seven stalls were selling their wares, four of which were food stalls. Afterwards, we went to the museum and aquarium.

With a tailwind, we went through typical dyke landscapes again. The absolute highlight were the seals. The camera pictures are always on the back! Always follow the Dollard route, with a …
