Eemsdelta

Built around historic settlements on the Ems estuary and Groningen’s reclaimed claylands, Eemsdelta became a municipality in 2021 when Appingedam, Delfzijl and Loppersum merged. Its northern edge faces the Wadden Sea, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose tidal flats and salt marshes shape this section of the Dutch coast. Delfzijl has long been a port, while nearby Appingedam is known for its hanging kitchens projecting above the Damsterdiep canal. Farms and old village churches across the polder country lend the area a distinct north-Groningen character. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Eemsdelta and Groningen.
