Erft
The
Erft is a river in
North Rhine-Westphalia,
Germany. It flows through the foothills of the
Eifel, and joins the
Rhine river. It's origin is near Nettesheim, and its mouth in Neuss. The river is 103 km long, which is significantly shorter then it was originally. Due to the
open pit mining of
lignite in the
Hambacher Loch the flow of the river had to be changed.
