The locks were constructed simultaneously with the construction of the Afsluitdijk, almost 100 years ago. Due to the rising sea level, the dike will have to be raised and reinforced in the coming period. In order to discharge more water from the IJsselmeer to the Wadden Sea, extra discharge sluices are being built. There will also be a large pumping station, which will be used if insufficient water can be drained away by flushing.

Wieringen nature reserve
Wieringen is a former island between the Wadden Sea and Zuiderzee and is wonderfully beautiful. Rolling greenery, wooded banks that protect cattle and cyclists from the wind of the sea, historic farms, cozy villages, winding roads. And the sea is always close by, and so are the sea birds. Gulls, fish thieves, spoonbills and geese call Wieringen their home.
