Due to the changing tides, the Hollandse Biesbosch nature reserve is enormously rich in greenery. The effect of the river and the tides makes the area a true paradise for a wide variety of animals. The beaver is the most famous inhabitant of this area, maybe we will discover one along the coast! But also other forest animals like to hide in this beautiful forest, like foxes, deers and hares.

Gouda

65 km
There is much to see and do in Gouda. The city is, of course, particularly famous for its cheese. The Gouda Cheese Market has existed since 1198. Before cheese and other goods were sold on the market, they first had to be weighed. This happened in the Waag, and today the Waag is a museum where we can learn all about the history of the Gouda Cheese Market. Apart from the Waag, other historical highlights include the Town Hall and the Sint-Janskerk, hidden treasures in the Gouda Museum, more facts about cheese in the Gouda Cheese Experience and sweets in the syrup waffle factory. These are places not to be missed when visiting Gouda.

The water sports area of the Kaager Plassen is centrally located in the Randstad, between Leiden and Amsterdam. At the southern edge of the Haarlemmermeer lies the village of Buitenkaag and opposite, on the other side of the Ringvaart canal, the picturesque Kaageiland. Crossing over by ferry gives you the feeling of being in another world. The many old houses give the impression that time has stood still in this romantic water sports village. Many say that this is where the roots of water sports in the Netherlands lie.
