Description
Set off on a tranquil boat cruise through the winding waterways of De Biesbosch National Park, a natural wonder near Werkendam in the Netherlands. Glide silently aboard a whisper boat, taking in the lush scenery and keeping watch for beavers, eagles, and deer in their native habitat.
As you journey through narrow creeks and the scenic Beneden Petrus trench, learn how the Dutch shaped this unique landscape. Discover the fascinating story of polders and depolderisation, where centuries of water management have shaped both the land and its people.
After your cruise, continue your adventure at Biesbosch Museum Island. Here, interactive exhibits reveal the rich history, ecology, and future of the park, including the dramatic impact of the St. Elizabeth flood of 1421 that formed the region.
Families will love the Biesbosch experience, a detailed scale model that brings the park’s hydrology to life. Children can explore the miniature polders, dykes, and streams while learning about the area’s importance in a fun and engaging way.
Round off your visit with a stop at the museum café for a snack or browse the shop for unique souvenirs and local products. This experience lasts around 1.3 hours and includes your sightseeing cruise and museum entry. Book your spot now to discover the heart of Dutch nature and heritage!
