Tips
The Keringhuis of De Maeslantkering is a delta work that offers protection against high water. The Delta Works can handle a tidal wave of five meters. On top of the nearby hill, you have a beautiful view of the Waterweg, Rotterdam Harbor, North Sea and Hoek van Holland.

These gigantic steel walls can be pushed into the water during a storm surge and protect the whole of Holland. Pretty impressive.
