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.
With the sun reflecting on the water and nature completely alive around me, I captured these authentic summer moments from the boat itself, exactly as you experience them while exploring one of the most unique nature areas in the Netherlands.
De Biesbosch is known for its winding creeks, rich wildlife and endless green landscapes. During hot summer days, it becomes the perfect escape for people who want to slow down and reconnect with nature.
