    We all know the three-country point. But did you know that there is also a three-dyke point in the Netherlands? Unique in the Netherlands. By its very nature, dikes cannot cross each other. But at the three-dyke point, three dykes come together.

    The Driedijkenpunt is a striking spot in the special river country. Battles against the water have been taking place here for a long time. Ten floods in the past three centuries; on average one every thirty years. The Maas used to flow into the Waal here. Now they are kept separate from each other.

    By far the most beautiful and striking object at the Driedijkenpunt is the artwork “Waterland” by Cor Litjens. Lutjens is a real Maas & Waler himself. He was commissioned to create a work of art to celebrate the reinforcement of the dikes after the high water in 1995.
