Everything about The Lauwers totally explained
The
Lauwers is a
river in the
Netherlands. It forms part of the border between the provinces of
Friesland and
Groningen. From the
730's to
Widukind's defeat in
785 it was part of the border of the
Frankish Empire.
The former
Lauwerszee and the present-day
Lauwersmeer are both named after the river, which as a small stream has its source southeast of the village of
Surhuisterveen. Near
Gerkesklooster/
Stroobos it crosses the
Prinsesmargrietkanaal/
van Starkenborghkanaal.
The Lauwers achieves the width of a true river at the point where gains its tributary, the
Oude Vaart, near the
Schalkendam. Further along its course, the Lauwers splits into two branches, the Frisian
Oude Lauwers and the
Zijldiep, in
Groningen province.
The Lauwers meets the sea at the
Wadden Sea, emptying into a channel between the islands of
Schiermonnikoog and Rottumerplaat/Rottumeroog, which can be viewed as the continuation of the river.
