About this school trip
Swamp woodland, water, birds and endless reed beds: the landscape of the Weerribben looks untouched, yet every metre of it was shaped by people. Centuries of peat cutting created a soggy wetland that is now a precious habitat. It is a breeding ground for otters, and with a bit of luck your pupils will see or hear mute swans, purple herons, sedge warblers and great reed warblers.
Weerribben-Wieden National Park is best experienced from the water. In a silent electric boat or a canoe, your class glides between walls of reeds deeper and deeper into the green. The area is one big green maze, but nobody gets lost: all the waterways eventually lead to the Kalenbergergracht. A boat excursion is a wonderful way to introduce pupils to wetland nature. If you choose canoeing, please bear in mind your pupils' swimming ability.
We are happy to take care of transport to the Weerribben for you and your pupils. Our experienced driver takes your group safely and comfortably by coach to the starting point of your boat trip.
