Beschrijving

Veur-Lent is the name of an island in the Dutch river Waal. The city island is part of the municipality of Nijmegen, it is situated in the Lent Quarter, north of the city center. Owing to the threat of dike breaches at high water, it was decided that more water would need to flow through the river. Because the sharp bend in the Waal at Nijmegen created a bottleneck and restricted the water flow, a three kilometer long parallel gully, called the Spiegelwaal, was dug at this point. This resulted in the creation of the new island. Various bridges were built to the island. The island can be reached from the Waalbrug (Waal Bridge), Spoorbrug (Railway Bridge), the Oversteek, the Zaligebrug (Zalige Bridge) and the Lentloper. In this video all these bridges will be crossed twice along the way.
