Everything about The Westfriese Omringdijk totally explained
The
Westfriese Omringdijk (West-Frisian Circular Dyke) is a dyke system that protected the region of
Westflinge, part of the historical region of
West-Frisia.
Westflinge is now commonly referred to as
West-Frisia as the rest of historical
West-Frisia assimilated with
Holland.
The development of
peat bogs and
moors as of 1000 BC led to
subsidence, which necessitated the building of
dykes. The Westfriese Omringdijk was formed by connecting a large number of smaller dykes. This was completed by 1250 AD. The total dyke length is about 126 km, protecting an area of about 800 km
2. It connects the cities of
Enkhuizen,
Hoorn,
Alkmaar,
Schagen,
Medemblik and then back to
Enkhuizen.
