Hiking
On the border of Groningen and Friesland you will find the R.J. Clevering sluices. After the storm surge of 1953, it was decided to strengthen the Dutch coastline. In 1960, the cabinet decided to close off the Lauwerszee by constructing a 13 km long closing dike, which would create the Lauwersmeer. The Lauwers locks were built to ensure drainage. On May 23, 1969, the Lauwerszee was finally closed under the watchful eye of Queen Juliana. In 2007 the name of the Lauwers locks was changed to the current name R.J. Clevering sluices.
