Toek

Toek corridor

It springs at Toekwiese (Toek meadow) by the Mijschen ridge in Stammte Berge. As a torrent flows Toek to Wergleeb, a district town. After that, a small mountain stream Pleek flows in Toek. Then picks up an important left affluent, noted mountain river Eikel. After cca. 110 kilometres the river Toek entries the large Toeker Laagland. It involves towns such as Jösenburg, Renburg, Meling and others also meaningful. In this area there are many small rivers and streams flowing in Toek from left and right, for example Laan. There are also many crooks, meanders and vineyards with good-class grapes. In the northern part of Toeker Laagland was built the second largest dam in Neeutegeen, Zoer Damm (The Dam of Zoer). It is presently plentifully exploited for tourist purposes. Last 100 kilometres of Toek in Neeutegeen are exploited for industrial purposes. Big ports, factories, docks and works line the Toek in cities such as Soetar, Gaanhöfe, or Toekdijk. Lastly, Toek empties into the Netherlands.

Importance

In the middle part, slopes of hills upon Toek bring good few of Newtegenish wine production. Toek is also exploited as a source of energy to the hydroelectrics. Because Toek is quite wide, water traffic is allowed to shorter and lighter ships. Major part of the lower reach industrially "abused". Toek leaves Neeutegeen and brings its fascinating flowage to the Netherlands.
