Noordpolderzijl dijk
The view from a dyke is almost always worth seeing. But this spot has something extra: if you walk northwards along it, you’ll reach the northernmost point of the Groningen mainland.

From the dyke, you have a magnificent, sweeping view of the mudflats and the fishing harbour. The village of Noordpolderzijl can also be seen on the other side. At the foot of the dyke, near the lock, a monument has been created using cobblestones. On the sea-facing side, blue-grey stripes run across a base of old, red cobblestones. The waves symbolise the power of the Wadden Sea. On the other side of the lock, blue-grey stripes have also been laid out, but horizontally and on a bed of new red cobblestones. In this way, this section symbolises the polder landscape behind it. At the foot of the sea dyke lies ’t Zielhoes. This former sluiswachterswoning now houses a nostalgic brown café.
