IJssel River, The Netherlands |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The IJssel River, the main branch of the lower Rhine River in east central Netherlands, meanders its way through the Dutch countryside. The IJssel is often considered the most scenic river in The Netherlands, but it was the river’s economic importance that gave rise to the settlements on its banks. In the 13th and 15th centuries these settlements developed into thriving commercial towns affiliated with the Hanseatic League. | ||||||
