Plofsluis

Highlight • Monument

The Plofsluis is part of the historic military defence system the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie. It was designed as a construction to close of the canal in order to flood the surrounding lands.
This strange construction will definitely catch your eye the first time you pass by.

After getting to the other side of Nieuwegein watch out for the bicycle path along the Lek. It is easy to get the wrong side.
