Grevelingenmeer

The Grevelingenmeer (in French Lake Grevelingen ) is a Lac and old Arm of the sea located in the south-east of the Netherlands. It is located between the islands of Goeree-Overflakkee and Schouwen-Duiveland, and it forms the border between the Holland-Southerner and the Zealand.

Before its closing, this old arm of the sea of the the North Sea was called Grevelingen . Within the framework of work of the Plane Delta, Grevelingen was closed and isolated from the sea by the construction of the Barrage S of the Grevelingendam in the east (completed in 1965 and of the Brouwersdam in the west (completed in 1971). Called since Grevelingenmeer , it constitutes more the big lake of salt water of Europe, and it is primarily intended for the Tourisme and the water sports. The salt rate is maintained by the Brouwerssluis , a lock located in the Brouwersdam, which makes it possible to feed the sea water lake.
