Dyksputten
Dyksputten
Dyksputten are historic clay pits along the Frisian Wadden Sea dike. They were created in the 19th century by extracting clay, which was used to raise and strengthen the sea dike.
The Dyksputten can be found at several locations in the area behind the sea dike around the villages of Sexbierum and Oosterbierum, in the municipality of Waadhoeke.
Today, these low-lying, brackish nature areas provide resting and breeding grounds for birds and rare plant species. Some of the Dyksputten are as deep as 3 metres.

Heavy shelling on Pingjum
Heavy shelling on Pingjum
After the liberation of Sneek on April 15, 1945, Canadian troops advanced to the Afsluitdijk. The Frisian resistance advised against the attack. It remembered the May days at the beginning of the war in 1940.
After the Canadians had been festively welcomed in Leeuwaren, it was important to advance quickly to Franeker to prevent the last escape option of the Germans over the Afsluitdijk and the IJsselmeer. The attack against the Afsluitdijk was launched from the southeast on 16 April, but the tanks of the Queens Own Rifles soon ran into the strong German defenses.
After that, the village of Wons was surrounded, but the Germans defended themselves very fanatically at Pingjum. There were many snipers and the Canadians were fired on from the farms. Allied fighters and artillery were deployed to break the German resistance. During the shelling, five farms went up in flames, six civilians, one Canadian and 46 Germans were killed. On April 18, 1945, the Canadians were able to report that the entire area had been cleared of enemies.
