In this tour we explore the story of the big storm of 1953 that hit the South-West of the Netherlands. The dykes which had been neglected in WW2 broke and large parts were flooded. Almost 2000 people died and the damage was extensive. After the flood the Delta Works prevent a disaster from happening again. We visit the iconic places including the Flood Museum housed in the caissons that were used to close the biggest gap.
10-11 hours tour duration is travel time included.

Oude-Tonge
After a 1,5 hours drive from Amsterdam we arrive at the cemetery of Oude Tonge. This village was hardest hit during the flood of 1953. The 305 victims were buried in the dyke. The only dry place available. Looking at the names and ages on the graves we are humbled by the impact of the flood and the strength of nature..
Watersnoodmuseum
The last gap was closed in November 1953 at Ouwerkerk. Four Phoenix caissons were used. Those are the same type as the ones used for the D-Day harbour in Arromanches, Normandy. Now the caissons house the museum creating a special atmosphere for your visit. Admission € 13,50 p.p.
