More news from the Benelux Rework project just got delivered to you! In today's blog, we would like to dive into the water bodies, something that is really inseparable from this region. So let's see what you can expect to see when this rework project is finished!


The Benelux countries have been shaped by rivers, canals, and the sea for centuries. Especially in the Netherlands, people learned long ago how to live with this powerful element - building dikes, canals, and polders to hold it back or turn it into fertile land. Large parts of the Netherlands actually lie below sea level, which makes the extensive system of dams and barriers vital for keeping the land safe and habitable.


Windmills, which you can still spot across the countryside, were once an essential part of draining swamps and reclaiming new ground. And as you can see, our map designers have been working to bring this unique sight into ETS2.


When trucking through this area, you will be able to see that water doesn't play an important role only in the landscape of Benelux, but it's also vital for its logistics. Natural rivers flow alongside man-made canals, both serving transport purposes and providing calm spaces for relaxation. And don't forget about the mighty North Sea, which shapes the northwestern coasts of Belgium and the Netherlands and makes them home to some of Europe's largest and busiest container ports.


On your trucking adventures, you may find yourself crossing the famous Afsluitdijk, the dam that separates the IJsselmeer lake from the sea, or rolling over bridges that span the Waal, one of the main branches of the Rhine. Further south in Belgium, the Meuse (Maas) flows past beautiful cities like Liège, where hydropower plants use water for energy.
