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.

There were so many nettles growing that there was little space free around the cottage, even the path grew almost dense.
Er groeien zoveel brandnetels dat er weinig ruimte om het huisje vrij is, ook het paadje groeide bijna dicht.
The beautiful cottage is well hidden in a grove on the edge of the Biesbosch. Tip: we came from the jetty of the bicycle ferry from low Zwaluwe right through the Biesbosch. The last hour it rained so fortunately we could quickly warm up by the stove. You have a beautiful view of nature through the large windows and there is a walking path in the woods where we even saw a few deer. There is enough present to prepare a simple meal and a good mattress. The check-out time of 12 noon allows you time to enjoy nature even in the morning. If you don't mind not being able to shower, it's an overnight stay you won't soon forget.
Het mooie huisje ligt goed verborgen in een bosje aan de rand van de Biesbosch. Tip: wij zijn vanaf de aanlegsteiger van het fietsveer vanuit lage Zwaluwe dwars door de Biesbosch komen fietsen. Het laatste uur regende het dus gelukkig konden we snel bij de kachel opwarmen. Je kijkt mooi door de grote ramen de natuur in en er loopt een wandelpad in het bosje waar we zelfs een paar reeën zagen. Er is genoeg aanwezig om een simpel maaltje bereiden en een goed matras. De uitchecktijd van 12 uur maakt dat je ook ‘s ochtends nog tijd hebt om van de natuur te genieten. Als je het niet erg vindt dat je niet kan douchen is het een overnachting die je niet snel zal vergeten.
