View over the Lauwersmeer

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the few Dark Sky parks in the Netherlands, where it is still really dark at night. During the day also a beautiful view over the Lauwersmeer. The road is quite busy at times and recently re-built.

R.J. Cleveringsluizen

Highlight • Monument

On the border of Groningen and Friesland you will find the R.J. Clevering sluices. After the storm surge of 1953, it was decided to strengthen the Dutch coastline. In 1960, the cabinet decided to close off the Lauwerszee by constructing a 13 km long closing dike, which would create the Lauwersmeer. The Lauwers locks were built to ensure drainage. On May 23, 1969, the Lauwerszee was finally closed under the watchful eye of Queen Juliana. In 2007 the name of the Lauwers locks was changed to the current name R.J. Clevering sluices.

Dokkumer Nieuwe Zijlen Locks and Harbor

Highlight • Structure

Zijlen is old Dutch for 'locks'. The locks you see here date from 1729 and are the epitome of human interventions in the Frisian coastal area.
