The deep hole - Episode 11. Watch Listen Dyke
Contact
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 its world via 14 different locations along the Markermeer. With a different short story about living with the water at each location, told by a quirky dike who has seen it all before.
Location: On the Waterlandse Zeedijk, off the Deep Hole, in Monnickendam.
Episode 11 - The last breach
You can hardly imagine it, but a disaster happened on this spot. During the storm surge of January 1916, I broke through as a dike. I was not strong enough. Not properly prepared for the force of the water and the wind. Now I lie very differently, and that's a good thing.
