A story about the eternal Dutch battle against water
LOCK DEN HELDER
Kaart sluis Den Helder
The Koopvaardersschutsluis is the start or end point of the Noordhollandsch Kanaal, which was dug between Amsterdam and Den Helder in the 19th century because the Zuiderzee became increasingly difficult to navigate. The current lock was built in the late 1980s and is due for renovation.
