't Monument, Afsluitdijk Review

A beautiful place, with a lookout tower, souvenir shop, a must-have place for a break during a journey.

Nice to see and just good food from the cafe there.

Great feat of engineering, very impressive in that sense and you can get a great view from the tower, but not much else to see or do here. There is a restaurant but we didn't use it.

Great place to visit coming to Holland.itd a must see

Cozy and worth seeing. Food was delicious.
Crazy building

If the view had been better, then certainly great place to take a break in between. Did stop anyway.

Fantastic stop when you drive over the Afsluitdijk.

Beautiful view over the glacial lake and Wadden Sea

Impressive work. Bellissina view from the tower and the pedestrian bridge. Worth a visit.

Super nice place for a moment of rest. Enjoy the wide landscape.

Enjoy a sunset over the ocean horizon. Nicely done little stop connecting Den Oever and Zurich (Ne)

Wide choice of friendly staff ... and fast service ..
What more could you wish for?

This building has also become a great detour for us

Impressive the dike. It is worth stopping at the monument to see the dike. There is a sign with all the explanations of the construction. In addition, there is a cafeteria.

Wonderful place. History about the dike also explained well.

A work that deserves a visit, on the one hand you can admire the north sea and on the other the inland sea.

Interesting to see, but not much to do. No need to plan for a stop of more than half an hour.

Beautiful point with good weather and little wind. Views over Waddenzee and IJsselmeer

Nice place, service good but price quality ratio not ok

Very imposing structure, definitely worth a visit, unfortunately currently locked for bicycles, but since you really missed nothing with the bike just overlooking the dike and the road.

If you want to get some fresh air and want lunch. Great lunch and a breath of fresh air.

Nice place to have a coffee and eat a sandwich with a view

Here you can get a breath of fresh air and enjoy the view.

If you're passing in the Netherlands and you come over here then you should really take a break and enjoy this exceptional site. At the place where in 1932 the last hole in the Dam was closed one has the tower, the Monument, built in 1933.
Upstairs is a small balcony with a beautiful view of the Dam, the IJsselmeer to the south, and the Wadden Sea to the north.
At the entrance of the tower you can see a work of art. A bronze relief with three steenzetters like basalt blocks put in the dam. At the top is a lot of text saying: "A people that lives builds its future."
Shows a different picture: "A battle against the water remains a struggle by and for the people"
All honor to Cornelis Lely the inspirer of this immense project!

The monument is beautiful, but there were many flies!

Quiet place where you can see what used to be two seas

Stopping in between is a great idea ... at the same time something to learn

Being a jacket and wear warm shoes even during spring. The sunrise and sunset are beautiful here. There's also a bus that services the area 350. Frequency of one or hour, not too bad

Take these few moments to discover a unique panoramic.
It's worth taking the time to understand this highway / dike between sea and sea.

One of the most impressive engineering works of all time that connects Friesland and North Holland: 32 km long, closed the passage of water to the Wadden Sea (Unesco heritage), thus transforming the Zuiderzee ('South Sea') ) in the IJsselmeer lake.
It is certainly worth following it and stopping at the vantage point to see also the evident difference of the currents in the two seas and their difference in altitude.

Nice place to enjoy the views.
The mooring jetties invite to beautiful photo moments.

Impressive what human will and technology can create!

Very, very airy. Almost like the Key West driveway. Beautiful view.

Always nice to have a look, to find interesting information about the origin

Rough waters have been conquered by tough rot. Always nice to get a breath of fresh air in the middle of the dike

Monument Afsluitdijk just a breath of fresh air ................

Coffee gets a lean six from me, the sauce ice cream sandwich was tasty and the service so-so ...

A place where sky and sea meet. It is essential to stop at the turret

Eaten tasty Kibbeling. Large portion, also good fries with it. Friendly people in the service.

Chill place. Only miss the picnic benches and a beautiful pier.

You have a very nice view and it is a nice stop. There is a restaurant, but you have to take into account that you are not allowed to use the toilet because of corona.
