Are you looking for some nature in Dordrecht, try visiting the national park “De Hollandse Biesbosch”. In the west of Dordrecht you will find the Hollandsche Biesbosch National Park. A large, green area where you can do a lot. You can take several beautiful walks, visit the Beverbos, rent a boat (canoe) to go sailing or book a cruise on the Whisper Boat. It is also possible to rent a sup.
A play forest has been created for children and there is also a large playground near the swimming pond, where, as the name suggests, you can swim in the summer. In the visitor center ‘Biesboschcentrum Dordrecht’ you can find more information and book tickets for various excursions. There is also the possibility to visit exhibitions.
Tips:
Reserve a boat or canoe in advance, because experience shows that these are very popular. In the summer there are also a lot of mosquitoes / other stinging insects on the water, so protect yourself well when you get into the canoe.
