Den Oever
Den Oever is situated at the beginning of the Afsluitdijk and is because of that the best known of all villages on Wieringen. The recently renovated harbour, which is home to a large fishingfleet, adds to the relative fame of Den Oever. V
Inhabitants of Den Oever are called by other Wieringers "Kroaien" (Crows). It is unclear what the origin of this nickname is.
Den Oever has many bars and restaurants, something closely related to the proximity of the harbour. A (not complete) et volledig) summary: Maxico, the (temporarily closed) jazzcafe run by self-proclaimed diversionist Max Teeuwisse, known from radio and TV (if you know where to look), café the Flying Dutchman, café Tante Pietje (right near the harbour), De Houtzolder, visrestaurant Basalt (at the harbour), Chinese Restaurant Oriental, Hotel de Haan / Brasserie Dirk, De Dikke Bries in the Zuiderhaven. Museum "Het Huis van de Aarde". The name reminds us of the time that it was mainly a geology museum. Recently the emphasis has shifted towards the medieval (Viking) history of Wieringen. Now it's more fair to say the museum shows the local early-medieval history and still has a small geology department. In the Autumn of 2001 the old museum closed, but there are plans to open a new museum next year. |
