National Park The Biesbosch

National Park De Biesbosch is one of the few freshwater tidal areas in Europe. It was created some 600 years ago after the Sint Elisabethflood in 1421. In the centuries that followed, the effects of ebb and flood created a rugged nature reserve with willows, reeds and capricious creeks. The Biesbosch is home to the largest rodent in Europe: the beaver. Besides the beaver, many other special animal species live here and the Biesbosch is also known as a world-famous bird-watching area.

Especially close in Dordrecht

For those who love history or for those who will write history later. For those who love art and culture, or for those who seek adventure. Dordrecht is so much more than just a beautiful city centre. During your visit, you can explore as many of the more than one thousand monuments as possible and a visit to the Grote Kerk is certainly not to be missed.

The city is inextricably linked with water, which brings experience to a whole new level. Step onto the boat at Wijnhaven and sail straight through the city towards Oude Maas. You can choose to continue the trip to the Biesbosch or do it by bike. Before you know it, you are in the middle of nature. This is what makes Dordrecht so special: art, culture and history in the city centre and a national park in your backyard.
