The Biesbosch was originally polder land, but after a storm surge, the area transformed into an inland sea. Water from the Maas and Waal rivers transformed it into a freshwater delta. Sand and river silt formed sandbanks, which were particularly suitable for rushes. Hence the name 'Biesbosch'. When the Haringvliet inlet was later closed off, the large differences between high and low tides disappeared. Nature was given free rein, and the area became wilder. Today, sea eagles and ospreys breed here again. A truly special sight!

This is pure nature, but no harbor district

Very beautiful nature reserve with many birds and wild horses.

Check in advance whether the ferry is running

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.

There are three standard mills in the Heusden fortress. These standard mills adorn the appearance of the fortress and were placed as part of the restoration of the fortress (from 1969). They were rebuilt on the original location where they stood when they were still in full operation (14th century). The three grain mills are fully functional, that is to say; they are able to grind grain into flour. A grinding chair has been installed in all mills (two millstones connected to the going work).
