Nature Hike De Biesbosch (17 km)
NS Dordrecht Stadspoldres, Dudokplein 100, Dordrecht, NLDe Biesbosch is an amazing place to visit. This sweet water estuary and wetland is connected to the northsea and therefore influenced by the tides. Lots of birds and other animals find their home here, including the beaver. The hike starts in Dordrecht, from where we walk to the river Nieuwe Merwede. We will follow its course along the densely vegetated shore. The trail then curves back in the direction of Dordrecht, where we will take a bus back to the train station.
Meeting time and place: we will meet at 10am at train station Dordrecht Stadspolders.
