Nederrijn

The Lower Rhine is the northern arm of the Rhine in the Rhine- Meuse delta in the Netherlands. Translated into German would be the name of the Lower Rhine, the Lower Rhine is not to be confused with the Lower Rhine, as a section of the Rhine is called in Germany. ( The Lower Rhine is still a section of the Rhine before it divides into the Netherlands in the Rhine- Meuse delta in the Rhine River. )

The Nederrijn maps Angeren ( east Arnhem), shortly before the turn of the IJssel, the continuation of the breakdown Rdens channel.

From Wijk bij Duurstede ( near Utrecht ) is called the river Lek in Krimpen aan de Lek, he rejoins the North. Both flow through together as Nieuwe Maas and the Rotterdam port open via the New Waterway at Hoek van Holland in the North Sea.

Arnhem is the largest city in this part of the river.

To regulate the water discharge of the various branches of the river, at Driel and Amerongen jam and lock complexes have been built. With the dam Driel, the water level of the river IJssel is regulated.

Between 1530 and 1536 the Rhine was moved at Arnhem. This could the city that had arisen at St. Jansbeek, even better develop and defend themselves against the attacking Spaniards.

Bridges over the Lower Rhine at Arnhem are ( three road bridges, a railway bridge ), the A50 motorway bridge at Heteren and a road bridge at Rhenen. Ferries at Doorwerth, Wageningen, Opheusden, Elst and Amerongen.
