The story

Story · De Brekende Golf

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at De Brekende Golf, the Breaking Wave, in Oudeschild on the island of Texel. Locals often just call it the Fishermen's Monument. Look at its shape: a steel wave, caught just as it's about to break. It sits on a base of basalt blocks, the same dark stone you see along Dutch dikes everywhere.
