Dommel
Dommel
The Dommel is a small river in the Den Bosch. It is 120 kilometers long and starts in Belgium (Limburg) and end in the Netherlands (Noord-Brabant)
The origins of the name Dommel are not really known, but in the beginning of the 8th century Bisschop Willibrord named a river Dumthala.
Possibly Dom or duth comes from the dutting of reeds. And Mel is a reference to floating.
Te floating area of the Dommel belongs , geographical , to that of the Maas and at the source the river is 77 meter above sea level.
The Dommel is suitable for canoeing and small sight seeing ships, like the one we see here in Den Bosch. We tried to buy a ticket, but everything was sold out when we were there, so we couldn't do that tourist trip.
