Amazing and Romantic Canals of Utrecht!

in travel •  6 years ago 

I believe you know that the significant part of the territory of the Netherlands is below sea level. Particularly the level of the lowest place is equal almost 7 meters below sea.

However, all these areas remain habitable due to a complex system of canals, locks and dams constructed in the Netherlands for centuries.

All country is covered by canal network and my photoshoot is about water system of Utrecht.

The Vecht River and Lekkanaal Canal are the main waterways of the City which is one of the biggest in the Netherlands. Together with smaller canals, tributaries and locks they create strong water system and very peaceful and romantic atmosphere as you can see now.

Thank you very much for interesting information and your reply!

Surprised there aren't pubs lining the canal. What a great place to sit down for a beer (or three) and chat with friends!

You are absolutely right, but in Netherlands there are many places where it is possible to sit down for a beer in the pubs near a canal. Thank a lot for your note!

It's amazing how much human labor is invested. Interesting places and beautiful photos!
