mplessers Says: Best way to see the Biesbosch nature reserve is by Canoe. This is truely the best way to experience the beauty of this place.Try to avoid the busy july/august period.
catnl Says: When u leave the harbor at Hank by cano u go straight and then to the right and cross the water and there u are in the middle of the Biesbosch. Although it rained all day it was great to see all those creeks and listen to the sounds of the birds and the fish who were jumping...
A lot more to do and see then canoeing
irisbe Says: $cgThere is a museum as well.More info at their officially websitePicture borrowed from the official website.
catnl Says: U can camp on "het Eiland" for some nights for free without any luxury, only 2 toilets are available.But u will find total silence beside the singing of the birds and sometimes the sounds of motorboats passing by, only canoes can go to this island.
irisbe Says: There are a few islands in the area where you are free to camp for maximum 2 nights. The accomodation is very basic: 1 toilet and rather primitive. The rest you will have to take care yourself! There are only 2 offical islands to camp on.
catnl Says: hehe not a restaurant but personal service by Diamonddog, spicey saucages, satehsticks and lambsmeat, fresh salade and wine:-) fresh baken saucages
Ad en Jopie Valk: Truckers restaurant Napoleon

catnl Says: On saturdaymorning Rudy and i went to this cafe/restaurant to have some coffee and beer before we went off to start the canoetrip.Very nice cafe at the harbor. A lot of men just came back from a fishingcontest and all those men were talking about how much they catched...and...
catnl Says: Diamonddog picked me up by car and we went from Eindhoven - Breda- St. Anna's-Werkendam-Hank.It took about 1 hrs to get there.
irisbe Says: The best way to discover the Bieschbos is going by canoe (or rowboat).With a canoe you can escape those motorboats that are noisy and stinks hours on end. They are not allowed to get into the smallest creeks but you are (except for a few but that is on the map you ought to...
irisbe Says: Hank is situated northeast of the Biesbosch in Brabant (between Gorinchem and Breda).At the highway A27 you take the Exit 21 Hank/Dussen and just follow the signs “Vissershang”or “fluisterboot”.
irisbe Says: You can go on a guided tour through the area, some are on a huge motorboat but others, like the one on this picture, are done on a quiet electrical boat.This kind of boat is called the Fluisterboot, translated it is the Whispering boat, because it doesn't make any sound and...
irisbe Says: It really is a pity that the Dutch who populated the islands during Summer were so terrible annoying noisy.Laughing till after 1 am ok, but racing with their boats for hours after midnight is a bit of unbearable. This is such a lovely area and it is after all a NATURAL...
catnl Says: This was my first trip by cano ever cause i cant swim very well ... during canotrips of my children i went for walks or sat on terraces of a restaurant till they came back.And offcourse what i was afraid off happened...:-) Rudy and were talking and i leaned over too far so...
irisbe Says: If you don't own a canoe of your own, then you can rent one at Hank. There is this marina called Vissershang. It is just completely renewed.You can alos hire a rowboat should you prefer to do this. info about the marina Vissershang you can find...
