this is fun! wakeboarding on Hollands Diep water near Naturepark De Biesbosch.

Boating through De Biesbosch on a hot summer day

There is something special about being on the water during those rare Dutch summer days above 30 degrees. These photos were taken while I was enjoying with friends and my daughter in in a small boat, cruising through the beautiful waterways of Hollands Diep near Nationaal Park De Biesbosch.

Hollands Diep is a river in the Netherlands and the point where the river Rijn and Maas come together. After this point is will split into the Haringvliet and the Volkerak.

Did you know that this area The Biesbosch was formed after the St. Elizabeth’s Flood in 1421. A flood in which several cities in the west of the Netherlands were submerged and some even disappeared. What was once a polder area turned into an inland sea.
