    From the dike, a view of the mudflats of the Dijkwater nature reserve in the municipality of Sirjansland. In 1305, an area reclaimed ('s heers Jans land) where a channel (Dijkwater) provided access to 4 harbour towns. The Dijkwater is the historical remnant of the Gouwe, which separated the islands of Schouwen, Dreischor and Duiveland. In 1374, the northern branch of the Gouwe was dammed and the Noordgouwe polder was created. In 1610, Schouwen and Duiveland were also effectively connected. During the major flood disaster in 1953, the inlet of the Dijkwater was one of the places where a major dike breach occurred. After the flood disaster, the area was reclaimed and a nature reserve was created where numerous water birds can be spotted.
