Krimpenerwaard

Krimpenerwaard has served as a peatland farming region in South Holland since the Middle Ages. Set between the Lek and Hollandse IJssel rivers, it is defined by low, open polders, drainage ditches and long ribbons of settlement following the dikes. The landscape reflects centuries of Dutch water management: land here has been reclaimed, drained and protected to support agriculture and everyday life below or close to sea level. Rather than an urban centre, Krimpenerwaard is a distinctly rural part of the Randstad, where farms, waterways and village churches shape the local identity.
