About this school trip

De Biesbosch National Park is unlike any other nature area. The interplay of tides between the North Sea and the rivers Meuse and Rhine has formed a maze of creeks, with willow woods, reed beds and hidden river landscapes. As the largest freshwater tidal area in Europe, the Biesbosch makes a superb outdoor classroom for lessons on water and nature.

For primary schools there is an extensive education programme, developed by Staatsbosbeheer, IVN and the Biesboschcentrum. In the learning pathway on living with water, children discover why the beaver is a true water engineer and how the Biesbosch protects towns and villages against high water. Out on the water, in a canoe for example, pupils experience the area up close. For water activities, do bear in mind your pupils' swimming ability and the safety rules that apply.

We are happy to take care of transport to the Biesbosch for you and your pupils. Our experienced driver takes your group safely and comfortably by coach to the starting point of your programme.
