![]() Westerklief![]() As one of the highest locations on Wieringen Westerklief was early settled. Westerklief was one of only a few savehavens that offered protection against the disastrous floods that tormented Wieringen in the days when dikes weren't as high and massive as they are now. Today, there are not many traces that remind of those early residents. You can find a few remarkable old Wieringer farmhouses. The view on these farms is very beautiful, although it's only a bleak remnant of how it once was. On the photograph below, from the 1920s you see a panoramo of Westerklief. ![]()
From Westerklief you have a magnificent view. To the south you look over the dikes into the new Wieringermeer
