ハーディンクスフェルト・ギーセンダムの湖・トップ20

There's plenty of flora and fauna to discover in the Biesbosch National Park. The park's museum and café are also a must-see. It's important to check the ferry service to Crezée in advance.

National Park De Biesbosch is on the list of protected nature reserves. De Biesbosch is partly used for agriculture and there is a lot of (water) recreation. Specially constructed reservoirs provide for the storage of clean surface water. Since 1994, De Biesbosch has been a national park, where work is now in full swing to give more space to the rivers.

The (bicycle) ferry from Lage Zwaluwe runs all day until about half past six (with a break between a quarter past 1 and 2 o'clock). From there you will be treated to a beautiful wetland, outside the Wadden area, the Netherlands' most beautiful nature reserve, if I may say so. Enjoy the many birds and the diversity of (wet) nature. If you park your bicycle, you can also explore the area on foot; there are several lookout towers where you can secure your bicycle. At the end of the ride I set up my tent at the Knotwilg nature campsite. A hiker's field with a view over the water, great! There are also beautiful routes into the area from there. There is a mini lookout tower near the campsite, so you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.

With the (bicycle) ferry from Lage Zwaluwe you will be completely immersed in the most beautiful nature reserve in the Netherlands. Take your time for this part, there are various routes into the area!

Bring good walking shoes for the swampy part.

The Groesplaat is a nature reserve located in the floodplains of the Boven-Merwede. The nature reserve is quite young, it was completed in 1999. In the same year, a channel was also excavated that runs parallel to the river. The channel is now an important place for fish to spawn, and therefore also a very attractive piece of nature for fish eaters such as the cormorant and the osprey.

You can walk through forests, marshes, fields and polders, enjoying the views over the many waters of the Biesbosch. In wet periods, parts of the paths are flooded. Can be very muddy. But is really very beautiful.

A beautiful island for walking. You can reach all those different islands via nice bridges and view the flooded trees and many water birds.
