I love running along the Waal river because it gives beautiful views. My mother used to swim across the river as a child. The Waal plays an important role in the economy and history of Nijmegen during floods and wars. Operation Market Garden during WWII focused on capturing the two bridges across the Waal. Now there are several bridges that connect the city with the other side of the river.
