Description

Spillways are lower parts of the dike system of a river. They are intended to provide a way out for rising water if the pressure on the dikes becomes too great. There were 2 spillways of the Meuse between Katwijk and Cuijk and between Gassel and Linden. Especially in autumn and winter, it used to be difficult to turn the Meuse and keep it within the dikes. When there was a lot of precipitation, the spillways sometimes opened twice a year. years in operation. The low grounds between Grave and Cuijk (the Beerse Gat) were then completely flooded. This last happened in 1942. From then on, the water level of the Meuse could be better controlled through canalization and the installation of locks. Especially in the eastern part of the route you can see how decisive the flooding of the Maas was for the landscape and the people who lived there. you cycle through a large-scale landscape, with buildings and roads on the higher parts. Characteristic are the old stately farms on mounds. The soil that has remained dry since 1942 is now partly excavated and makes way for... water, such as the Kraaijenbergse Plassen near Linden.
