This is the northernmost section of the diversion canal, which is otherwise located mainly west of the city.
"The diversion canal or bypass canal of the Nete was dug in 1860 west of Lier. The diversion canal is bordered by a wooded embankment or a row of trees and the towpath."

The Nete Diversion Canal (also called the Diversion Canal) is a man-made canal that runs halfway around the city of Lier. It was originally intended to divert excess water from the Kleine Nete around Lier to relieve the lower-lying areas in the east of the city. The diversion canal begins at the Kleine Nete in the northeast of Lier and flows into the Nete in the south.
