Starting point: Biesbosch MuseumEiland, Hilweg 2 in Werkendam or Jachthaven van Oversteeg, Spieringsluis 5 in Werkendam.
You park at the Biesbosch MuseumEiland or Oversteeg Marina where free parking is available. There is also a charging station for electric bikes at the Biesbosch MuseumEiland. You first walk around the Jantjesplaat. Here you pass by old and new parts of the Biesbosch: the old part consists of an overgrown willow forest with lots of shrubbery, and the new part was created after high water in the 1990s. Soil needed to improve the dikes was excavated there. Since then, a beautiful wetland has been created with crystal clear water that is crowded by birds.
Then you walk along the Deeneplaatweg to the Deeneplaat. This consists of 2 parts: the western part consists of a rough willow flood forest (parts of the area still flood at high water levels), the eastern part consists of grienden that are still maintained as they have been for centuries.
After exploring the Dane Plate, continue your way back to the Biesbosch MuseumEiland. The museum is open year-round. You can also come here for a cup of coffee or a delicious lunch in the restaurant area.
