The tunnel valley of Winterswijk is one of the most intriguing geological phenomena in the Netherlands, originating in the ice ages when enormous glaciers dominated northern Europe. Meltwater from the glaciers flowed under high pressure under the ice, carving deep gullies into the soil. This created the tunnel valley: a kilometer-wide, elongated, U-shaped depression that is still recognizable in the landscape today.
