Swimming at ANNA Biesbosch
ANNA Biesbosch is surrounded by water. You are not allowed to swim in the water directly in front of the cabin because beavers live here. If you want to take a refreshing dip, you can find the nearest official swimming places and information on bathing water quality at zwemwater.nl. To swim closer to the cabin, follow the trail to the tip of the peninsula, stay on the left side of the line of balls and you can swim there! Please note this is not an official swimming spot. Swimming here is at your own risk.
Canoeing from ANNA Biesbosch
Experience De Biesbosch up close from the water. Imagine yourself in a jungle with narrow winding creeks and overhanging branches. Paddle through a vast and rugged landscape of large creeks and huge expanses of water with wide reedbeds. There are various routes for both experienced canoeists and beginners, ranging from two hours to a full day.
A stay in cabin ANNA includes a Canadian canoe. You’ll find this canoe on the small jetty opposite the cabin. It must be locked at all times. The lock can be opened with the same code as the MALTHA barrier and the storeroom. The paddles are in the technical room. Life jackets are in the wardrobe in the kitchen and there is also a barrel here where you can keep things that need to stay dry. Use of the canoe is at your own risk. In case of emergencies, please call 112.
Hiking from ANNA Biesbosch
From a short stroll on paved paths to long treks through marshy wetlands. And from a trip along the banks of richly vegetated creeks to a trek through polders full of meadow birds or over narrow dikes over rough terrain. Either way: walking in De Biesbosch is an amazing experience!
The path from the barrier to cabin ANNA Biesbosch is approximately 1.5 kilometers. Just walk up and down the path at a leisurely pace and enjoy. In Polder Maltha, many special birds can be found in every season. The MuseumEiland, from where many beautiful hiking trails depart, is approximately 3.5 kilometers away.
