Frisia is a land of ebb and flow, where water is everything. The Frisians used to be at the mercy of the ocean, but they built polders and dikes to protect themselves. They also dug canals and drained the marshes to create fertile fields. Today, we can hardly tell that these fields were once impassable mires. The legacy of the Frisians is all around us, with beautiful cities, towns, and a picturesque landscape of canals, farms, and moors. It’s a landscape defined by man’s ingenuity.
