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.

Local recreation area with large parking areas and accordingly popular to overcrowded on weekends.

The Kloosterwiel was created when the Waal broke through a levee. This happened before there were dikes in the Bommelerwaard. Such a levee breach is called a crevasse and forms in an elongated, shallow pool of water. This is still clearly visible at the Kloosterwiel. The Kloosterwiel probably arose in the tenth century, at least before the dikes that were built in the Bommelerwaard between the tenth and eleventh centuries. The wheel was previously called St. Peter's Wheel. To counteract the strong seepage from the wheel to the environment, a seepage dam was placed around the entire wheel in the past. The western seepage dam was more to the west. The seepage may have been so strong that an additional seepage dam was constructed. It can therefore be quite wet here. The water level of the wheel rises and falls with the river, the influence of the Waal is clearly felt here. The footpaths are now partly over these higher and drier seepage dams.

Groesplaat is a new nature reserve in the floodplains between the Boven-Merwede and Oudendijk, between Woudrichem and Sleeuwijk. It measures 168 ha. The Groesplaat is a largely open floodplain. A striking feature is the secondary channel running parallel to the river. Along this channel there is a swamp vegetation which gradually changes into moist to dry grasslands and brushlands. Reed swamp and rising willow forest can be found in various places. Along the river are sandy beaches followed by a sandy embankment. The nature reserve was completed in 1999 and has been managed by Brabants Landschap ever since. The area is freely accessible between sunrise and sunset. Three walking routes have been set out, but it is not allowed to deviate from the paths. The Groesplaat is separated from the Sleeuwijkse Waard by the port of Sleeuwijk.

At the very tip of Gelderland, where the Maas and the Waal just don't touch, lies the beautiful Munnikenland. A fantastic Natura2000 area where not only nature can be experienced, but also cultural history is amply discussed. With Slot Loevestein as the epic center of it all. The area is part of the Bommelerwaard, with wet riparian forests where the trees stand with their feet in the water, grasslands with abundantly blooming flowers and floodplains full of meadow and water birds. A dynamic and robust nature reserve with an important part of Dutch cultural history. The defenses of the New Dutch Waterline show how we used to use the water to keep the enemy away.

The Lingebos was officially opened on June 26, 1969 by Princess Beatrix. For the construction of, among other things, the cloverleaf at Gorinchem and the widening of the A15, sand was extracted from the Lingebos area. This created a recreational lake. The recreational lake is suitable for swimming, canoeing, fishing and diving. De Kleine Waterlinie play forest is a true adventure for every child.

The Bergsche Maas bears its name from the Heusdens Kanaal to Geertruidenberg (the Amer).
