When it was constructed (1822-1826), the canal was still called Willemsvaart. When a Drentse Willemsvaart was added a few years later, ‘Zuid-‘ was added.
The canal owes its name to King Willem I, who decided to dig a connecting canal between Maastricht and 's-Hertogenbosch in 1822.
Enjoy cycling along the towpaths.
