Nice dry path along the Lek. You literally walk along the waterfront.

The city of Culemborg was founded on the site where the old peat stream, the Meer, flowed into the Lek. The oldest reclamations on the riverbanks of the Lek date back to the early Middle Ages. When the areas behind it were also reclaimed, subsidence occurred due to shrinkage and oxidation of the peaty soil, which increased the risk of flooding.

In 860 there were so many ‘terrible storms’ and the water level of the major rivers had risen so much that the old Rhine course along Utrecht could no longer handle the water and the river water sought another path. On its way to the sea, the water found another bed: the peat river mentioned earlier. This made this river (the Lek) an important main artery in the drainage of the Rhine.
