Tips

Bernisse is both the old river arm that separates the islands of Voorne and Putten, and the nature and recreation area that has been created around this old river arm and associated creeks.
The Bernisse is 7 kilometers long, starts at Heenvliet and runs along Abbenbroek, Zuidland and Simonshaven to the Spui.

Polder and arable land used to be located around the Bernisse and the water was initially used as a freshwater basin for agriculture, horticulture and industry.

It is a connection from the Spui to the Nieuwe-Waterweg through which water from the Spui is admitted into the Rijnmond area. This counteracts the salinization caused by the seawater flowing in via the Nieuwe Waterweg.

In the 1970s, the Bernisse was significantly widened and made suitable for recreational purposes with, among other things, beaches, fishing jetties, a trout pond, cycling and walking paths, a playground and the Beverbos in Zuidland.

The current water feature consists of lakes, bowls and pools. Together with the forests, marshy nature and meadows, the nature and recreation area is 300 hectares.
