Nature and surroundings
The cabin can be found in a nature reserve in the Oostwaard, a polder with fields, creeks and beautiful views. It is known for the Oostwaardpad, a 21-km hiking trail including a tow ferry across the Bakkerskil River. There is a good chance of seeing deer. The nearby national park the Biesbosch is a watery and unique area where you can wander fantastically because of the many willows and willow forests. Who knows, you might spot a kingfisher, bald eagle or osprey. The beautiful Biesbosch Museum Island tells the interesting history of this watery area and the important function the Biesbosch has for flora, fauna and (drinking) water management. In the Land of Heusden and Altena you cycle or walk over centuries-old, idyllic dikes, along the Merwede or dammed Maas, interspersed with farmland. You will find Dussen castle, old forts of the Dutch Waterline and the beautiful fortified town of Woudrichem.

Niek December 10, 2025 General rating:Everything was thought of and the contact with Karin and Gijsbert was smooth.
Aan alles is gedacht en het contact met Karin en Gijsbert verliep vlot.
Nature, peace & environment:Lovely on your own but close enough to the conveniences of everyday life,stores etc. And within cycling distance of the national park Biesbosch. The cottage itself is fully equipped.
Heerlijk op jezelf maar dicht genoeg bij de gemakken van het dagelijkse leven,winkels etc. En op fietsafstand van het nationale park de Biesbosch. Het huisje zelf is van alle gemakken voorzien.

Matthijs December 4, 2025 General rating:Well equipped cottage with all necessary supplies available.
Goed uitgerust huisje met alle noodzakelijke bevoorrading aanwezig.
Nature, peace & environment:Unique experience. The cottage is in the middle of a piece of forest, surrounded by farmland. You really imagine yourself alone. From Vissershang (good parking) you can walk to the cottage in an hour via a nice route from all kinds of pieces of forest. For beautiful hiking trails, however, it is quite a bit to the Biesbosch, then you'd better go by bike or canoe. We walked the Oostwaardpad. An sich a nice route, but mostly along agricultural areas, so that must be your thing. Also around the cottage is nice walking. We saw quite a few kingfishers, sparrow hawks and buzzards and even pigs.The cottage even is pretty well equipped. There was more than enough wood and kindling to keep it nice and warm (we were there in December), enough drinking water and enough flashlights and batteries to read a book at night. The toilet is also very well equipped for a dry toilet. Very luxurious.
Unieke ervaring. Het huisje ligt midden in een stukje bos, omringt door boerengebied. Je waant je echt alleen. Vanaf Vissershang (goed parkeren) kun je in een uurtje via een leuke route van allerlei stukjes bos naar het huisje lopen. Voor mooie wandelroutes is het echter een behoorlijk stuk naar de Biesbosch, dan kun je beter op de fiets of met de kano. Wij hebben het Oostwaardpad gewandeld. An sich een leuke route, maar vooral veel langs landbouwgebied, dus dat moet wel je ding zijn.
Ook rondom het huisje is het leuk wandelen. We hebben behoorlijk wat ijsvogels, sperwers en buizerds gezien en zelfs zwijntjes.
Het huisje zelfs is behoorlijk goed uitgerust. Er was meer dan genoeg hout en aanmaakwol om het lekker warm te stoken (we zaten er in december), genoeg drinkwater en genoeg zaklampen en batterijen om 's avonds een boekje te kunnen lezen. Ook het toilet is zeer goed uitgerust voor een droogtoilet. Zeer luxe.This text is automatically translated.
