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.

Anyone who is a fan of tidal areas will really do themselves a big favor by going for a walk here for a day. Beautiful nature and wonderfully quiet on weekdays. Watch out for the cattle that like to stand in the water when it is warm. Dragonflies, frogs, dozens of species of birds and beautiful flowers! Do bring your own food and drinks because there are no catering facilities or water points here.

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!

The creation of the riparian lands on the Hollands Diep is a fascinating interplay of nature and human effort. The Hollands Diep formed a natural division between areas, with its banks formed by the natural movement of water and sediment. However, with the arrival of humans, the landscape began to change. In the past, residents saw the potential of the fertile banks and started reclaiming pieces of land from the water with the help of dikes and ditches. This marked the beginning of an era of land reclamation and water management. As time and technology advanced, the experimental land reclamation efforts became more ambitious. Engineers designed complex systems of dikes and dams, creating more and more riparian lands. The once wild banks transformed into orderly, fertile lands, where nature and people together form a unique and harmonious landscape along the Hollands Diep. Each piece of land reclaimed became a new chapter in the timeless story of the interaction between land, water and people in the Netherlands.

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.
