All of our products at Simply Oak™ are named after some of the great rivers that meander through Europe.
A large number of rivers flow through the continent of Europe. Some of them form boundaries between different countries while others provide a valuable source of water for agriculture and freshwater fish for food. Many are also marked by interesting physical features, such as waterfalls and canyons. The European rivers are, indeed, an extremely important part of the continent.
The Loire is the longest river flowing through France. It originates in the southern region of Massif Central and covers a length of 1,020 kilometers before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean through the Brittany Peninsula. Another of the major rivers of Europe, the Rhine flows to a length of 1,233 kilometers and then discharges into the North Sea. During its course, it flows through six countries – Switzerland, Austria, the Principality of Liechtenstein, Netherlands, Germany and France.
The Amstel is a river in the Netherlands which flows from Nieuwveen to Amsterdam, where it meets the IJ bay. The city of Amsterdam took its name from the river. The River Thames, known alternatively in parts as the Isis, is a river that flows through southern England including London.
