The Niep, also known as the Niepkuhlenzug or under various other names (see below), is a silted old river channel of the Rhine, which extends as a swampy lowland from Krefeld via a number of meander loops through the left Lower Rhine area to Vluyn and (under another name) further to Issum draws. From here the channel can be traced into the Niers catchment area and ultimately to the Meuse.
