The dike between Hoorn and Amsterdam looks peaceful. But it has been through a lot over the centuries. And yes, he likes to tell about it.

In Kijk Luister Dijk, the dike takes you into his world, through 14 different locations along the Markermeer. With at each location a different short story about living with the water, told by a quirky dike who has seen it all before.

Location: On the dike, at the entrance to Etersheim, off the road to Oosthuizen

Episode 5 - The village versus the water
Do you already know the story about Etersheim? No, not the Etersheim of today, but that of centuries ago. A village that did not let itself be known. Bravely kept fighting against the powerful water. You can guess who won.
