IJssel
The
River
IJssel
, sometimes called
Gelderse IJssel
("
Gueldern
IJssel") to avoid confusion with the
Hollandse IJssel
, is the branch of the
Rhine
in the
Dutch
provinces
of
Gelderland
and
Overijssel
. The
Romans
knew the river as
Isala
. The IJssel flows from
Westervoort
, east of the
city
of
Arnhem
, until it discharges into the
IJsselmeer
("Lake IJssel", known prior to the 1932 completion of the
Afsluitdijk
as the
Zuiderzee
, a
North Sea
inlet). The River IJssel is one of the three major
distributary
branches (along with the rivers
Nederrijn
and
Waal
) into which the
Rhine
divides shortly after crossing the
German
-Dutch border.
