Water forest is hidden behind dozens of trees. From today, visitors can enjoy the view over the water and the Rotterdam skyline. "The most important thing about Waterwoud is a piece of connection with the city, the water and the island of Van Brienenoord", "says Pieter Van Oord, CEO of the hydraulic engineering company Van Oord. He opened the attraction.

Visible
According to alderman Bert Wijbenga (outdoor space, VVD), the municipality of Rotterdam has plans to build four other viewing points on the Nieuwe Maas, so that special places in Rotterdam become visible. These Maaspoints are planned for the Keilehaven, Schiemond, the Noordereiland and the Buizengat.

Waterwoud is one of the first innovations on the island of Van Brienenoord. Nature-friendly banks will be created and it should become easier to reach for people from the IJsselmonde district. The municipality also wants to set up a camping spot for children.

In the 1960s, this water on the island was the construction dock for the tunnel for the metro under the new mesh.
