Vlist (Dutch pronunciation: [vlɪst] ⓘ) is a village and former municipality in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland.
If the river is sufficiently frozen in winter, the Two Provinces skating tour is organized for the ice-skate enthusiasts.
Famously, along the river Vlist, Wilhelmina of Prussia, was halted by patriots from Gouda while on her way to The Hague.
She was planning to attempt to convince the States General to let her husband William V return to the city.
This event, that directly led to the invasion of the Dutch Republic by Frederick William II of Prussia and the fall of the patriots, occurred on June 28, 1787, and is (incorrectly, because it happened at Bonrepas) known as the Arrest at Goejanverwellesluis.
