New for children visiting Woudrichem: an interactive walking and scavenger hunt through the historic fortified town. Scan the QR codes on the signs and walk through the entire fortified town.

Beware of crossing gnomes! This is what small and large hikers on the Kabouterroute in the Almbos have recently been warned about in a playful way. On their own initiative, some employees of the field service of the municipality of Altena made two special warning signs and placed them at the route.

The municipality of Altena is celebrating its 5th anniversary. To celebrate, every resident will receive a guide with 5 new walking and cycling routes in the mailbox on Thursday, March 21, delivered door-to-door with the Altena News on behalf of the municipality.

In winter, too, there is plenty to do in the Biesbosch Line. From a light parade or Christmas concert to a candlelight tour or a cruise. There is something for everyone.

From December through February, there is plenty of winter rest in the Biesbosch Line. But that doesn't mean there's nothing to do. All sorts of activities are organized. From a winter snertalk or candlelight tour to atmospheric shopping for the holidays.

The Biesbosch Line is home to ancient heritage and beautiful nature. The area covers the municipality of Altena with its 21 towns, including Woudrichem, and the southern part of the Biesbosch. There is a lot to enjoy ... even in winter.

VVV Biesboschlinie brings an "Ode to the landscape" of Altena. Throughout the Netherlands this summer, the Dutch landscape is in the spotlight. That landscape is incredibly varied. Nowhere in the world is there so much diversity in such a small area as here.

Boating with the wind in your hair and the sun in your face is something to look forward to this summer. With the wetlands of the Biesbosch and Altena, the Biesboschlinie is a wonderful area for recreational boating. VVV Biesboschlinie launches this month the canoe/kayak guide with 7 routes in the municipality of Altena and a new junction system through the Biesbosch.

Peace and space, sturdy forts, fortresses and Brabant hospitality: that's the Biesbosch Line. The Biesbosch Line lies on the border of North Brabant, South Holland and Gelderland. The area, with Woudrichem as its most famous town, is surrounded by rivers, forming an island.
