The Hollandsche IJssel flows from Nieuwegein to Nieuwerkerk through Utrecht and South Holland. At Nieuwegein it starts as a continuation of the Doorslag, which forms the connection with the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal and is actually an old branch of the Rhine. Downstream it passes and through beautiful towns and villages, such as IJsselstein, Montfoort, Haastrecht, Gouda, Gouderak and Ouderkerk. Eventually it flows into the Nieuwe Maas, near Rotterdam. The section between Gouda and Rotterdam is wider and larger inland vessels also sail there, which you don't actually see on the section between Nieuwegein and Gouda. Only pleasure craft come there. All in all, a worthwhile piece of the Netherlands on and on the water. Filmed in the summer and autumn of 2021.
