Hiking
Probably started in the 11th century and erected by the monks of the abbey around 1430, the monks' dike was intended to contain the onslaught of the sea, and to gain valuable arable land to feed a starving population.
It is the first dike erected for the establishment of the polder, today undermined by rising waters. Some dikes in the surrounding area have given way, leading among other things to a modification of the route of the GR34 to move away from the coast for security reasons.
