This is where long time ago the Rijn ended. Today there is a dam that is opened only when the water level is higher than the see level (low tide).

A few hundred meters inland there is a second dam that has a pumping station (you can see the building on top) that elevates the inland water into the volume in-between the dams.

Not really a river ending though, the Dutch removed most of those (see history)
