National Park the Biesbosch
National Park de Biesbosch consists of 2 parts, the Brabantse Biesbosch and the Hollandse Biesbosch on the side of Dordrecht. Both sides of the Biesbosch are accessible, the Brabant side from the Drimmelen visitor center, which also houses De Biesbosch In and from the Werkendam visitor center. The Hollandse Biesbosch is accessible from Visitor Center Dordrecht. The port of Drimmelen, with several landlords, is the best location to rent a boat in the Biesbosch. The boats of De Biesbosch In are steerable for everyone, even without a license.
Boating and Fishing in the Biesbosch
After years of redevelopment of the Biesbosch, the area is now larger and more accessible than ever. New sailing routes, walking routes have been constructed and the water has been given more space than ever. When visiting the Biesbosch it is important to observe the park rules. Do not leave clutter and waste during your stay in the Biesbosch and leave nature intact. This way everyone can enjoy this special part of the Netherlands for generations to come. The Biesbosch and the river De Amer also have many good fishing spots where you can catch pike, pike perch, carp, roach and catfish. At De Biesbosch In you rent your fishing boat for a super nice fishing day on the water.
