It's middle section, with wild nature along it's numerous bends, and the Ruhrgebiet, with many major German cities famous for their cathedrals, architecture and the UNESCO world heritage sites. The lower section in Holland, renown for windmills and tulips. The delta, visited for its natural beauty and the "polders", the lands reclaimed from the sea.
