The
Eendracht is a former
tidal branch of
river Scheldt that has been
channelised to form the northern stretch of the
Scheldt-Rhine Canal. It flows from the
Markiezaatsmeer lake (formerly part of the
Oosterschelde) near
Bergen op Zoom past the
town and eponymous
island of
Tholen towards the former
island of
Sint-Philipsland, where it used to end in the
Krabbenkreek estuary. The passage to the estuary has been closed off, however, and an additional stretch of
canal was dug to connect the Eendracht to the
Krammer lake, itself a former
estuary closed off from the
sea during the
Delta Works.
