The 'Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie' (New Dutch Waterline) is a 3 to 5 kilometre wide inundation zone stretching approximately 70 kilometres from Muiden past the city of Utrecht towards the east, down to the large river district and the Biesbosch.
Up until 1940 it was the main defence line aimed at defending the western part of the country against any attacks coming from the east and the south.
