Tour of the Rhine and Pannerdensch Canal

Your route starts at Camping De Waay. Look out over one of the longest rivers that makes its way through Europe to the sea. The Rhine is 1,233 kilometers long and rises in the Swiss Alps, where two source rivers (the Voor-Rhine and the Achter-Rhine) feed the stream that ultimately flows through the Netherlands. You will also discover Fort Pannerden. This fort was built in the years 1869 to 1871. Fort Pannerden was built to guard the junction of the Pannerdensch Canal (the Rhine) and the Waal and to slow the advance of enemies. The first designs of the fort date from 1819. During WWI the fort was fully occupied. In 1926, most of the fort was moved, except for four cannons, which remained.
