Along the Nieuwe Waterweg there is a coming and going of impressive ships that you can watch for hours. This waterway was opened in 1872. Due to the open connection with the sea, it immediately posed a risk of flooding.
According to calculations, raised dikes proved to be insufficient. That is why the gigantic Maeslantkering was completed in 1997, recognizable by the enormous, white hinged arms that together in length are not inferior to the Eiffel Tower.
