Encyclopedia > Afgedamde Maas

The Meuse river splits near Heusden into the Afgedamde Maas on the right and the Bergse Maas on the left. The north branch joins the Waal near Woudrichem to form the Boven Merwede.


The Bergse Maas has been formed in 1904, to divert the flow of the Meuse from the route now called Afgedamde Maas (Dammed Up Meuse). The latter is still connected to the Meuse through the Heusden Canal.


There is a car ferry, not operating on sundays, and a foot passenger ferry. [1] (http://www.voetveren.nl/p-pr-nbr.htm)

The river divides near Heusden into the Afgedamde Maas on the right and the Bergse Maas on the left.
The Bergse Maas continues via the Amer, and merges with the Nieuwe Merwede to the Hollands Diep, before finally flowing into the North Sea via the Haringvliet.
