Location and economy

The two villages are located immediately east of Krimpen aan den IJssel on the south bank of the Hollandsche IJssel , opposite Moordrecht and Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel . The Rotterdam - Gouda bus goes through the two places that have neither motorway nor rail connections. There are ferries to Moordrecht and Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel. Some of the population is a member of strictly Calvinist churches and therefore rather conservative.

There are several timber wholesalers and transport companies here. Agriculture and inland shipping are also important.

history

Ouderkerk aan den IJssel and Gouderak originated in the 13th century. Gouderak had its own jurisdiction until the 17th century . The flood disaster of 1953 severely damaged Ouderkerk in particular.
