Krimpenerwaard, Municipality in South Holland, Netherlands
The Krimpenerwaard territory spans between the Hollandse IJssel river in the north and the Lek river in the south, containing extensive polders and waterways.
The municipality emerged on January 1, 2015, through the consolidation of five previous administrative entities: Nederlek, Ouderkerk, Vlist, Bergambacht, and Schoonhoven.
Local markets and festivals throughout Krimpenerwaard celebrate the region's dairy farming heritage, featuring products from numerous agricultural communities.
