Location where the dike of the Vliet was broken over about 100 meters. In no time Ruisbroek and the surrounding area were under water. 2000 inhabitants had to be evacuated in a hurry. Now this is a peaceful location.

It could have happened again this winter, but the dikes have now been raised and strengthened... Nice walk here on the Vliet with beautiful views of nature...
