    Tips

    May 18, 2021

    Is it a river or a canal? The Reitdiep is somehow both, and to make it even more complicated: It's actually the old Hunze. The Hunze, on the other hand, is the upper reaches of the Drentse Aa. All right? The first inhabitants settled in the valley of the Hunze before our era. For a long time the river was an important lifeline for the city of Groningen, because it formed the connection to the open sea. In order to keep this lifeline navigable for ships, the Hunze was straightened into a kind of canal: the Reitdiep. This can still be seen particularly well between Groningen City and Garnwerd. Further north, the Reitdiep meanders untamed through the Groninger Land.
