background

The Neder-Rijn leads from Angeren, where the IJssel branches off to the north, as a continuation of the Pannerdensch Kanaal to Wijk bij Duurstede. There the Neder-Rijn gives most of its water to the Lek and the lesser part of the Kromme Rijn, the original course of the Rhine.

Cities

  • Arnhem Capital of the province of Gelderland, mainly on the north bank of the Neder-Rijn. In 1530 the Neder-Rijn near Arnhem was relocated; six years later the project, which was enormous for the time, was over. The city, which originally developed on the higher Sint Jansbeek, could develop more favorably with a better location to the Rhine.
  • Wageningen, Seat of the Agricultural University.
  • Rhenes located at the foot of the Grebbeberg. Cunera church with tower. Place of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages.
  • Amerongen Amerongen Castle and the Amerongen lock complex, which regulates the water balance of the Neder-Rijn.
  • Wijk bij Duurstede Small town on the site of the early medieval trading metropolis Dorestad. Here the Neder-Rijn forks into Kromme Rijn and Lek.
