De Rietschoof

De Rietschoof is a small hamlet in the Dutch province of Gelderland, part of the municipality of Zaltbommel, situated along the Afgedamde Maas in the Bommelerwaard region of the Rivierenland area, roughly 13 km southeast of Gorinchem.

The name, first recorded in 1847, refers to bundles of reed (phragmites australis) historically used for thatching.

As an access point on the Afgedamde Maas, De Rietschoof has a harbour basin (haven) on this dammed stretch of the Meuse, registered under the authority of Rijkswaterstaat.

Mariners are advised to maintain low wash near moored boats and wait for a clear approach before entering. Additional harbour facilities and private berths are located within a short distance along the waterway.
