Flooded bird rest area near the Dutch river IJssel, Cortenoever

The River IJssel near Cortenoever in the Netherlands is a picturesque waterway renowned for its scenic landscapes and tranquil surroundings. However, during periods of heavy rainfall and the meltwater runoff from the Swiss and Austrian mountains, the river has been known to overflow its banks, transforming the serene scene into a powerful force of nature. This inundation brings both challenges and a breathtaking spectacle, highlighting the dynamic interaction between distant alpine sources and the low-lying Dutch landscapes along the course of the IJssel.
