Tips
Here the well paved bike path leads along the dike crown above the Nieuwe Merwede. The Nieuwe Merwede - to German simply New Merwede - is an artificial Rhine estuary, which was created in the late 19th century for shipping. Accordingly, you can see several larger and smaller ships moving on the water from the bike.

Stay outside the dike!
If the river is not too high, you can also take a nice walk at the Oosthaven and Zuidhaven.
At the Oosthaven you can also see the siphon, with which fresh river water is introduced into the Wetlandstranslated by•June 3, 2021
