Now that the Corona measures are easing and everything is going 'back to normal', this would be the perfect time to discover new and fun summer activities!
Here you can read about 5 fun activities that you should do with the upcoming summer weather.
CLIMBING FOREST // to climb
Discover your inner self monkey at the Klimbos in the Dutch Biesbosch! While you enjoy the beautiful view of nature, you climb via a self-chosen route. They have 5 different routes: something for everyone! You get three hours to climb. Plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful views as you climb your way through your route. A unique experience that you must do during a visit to Dordrecht.
DRIVE Dordrecht // boat trips, canoeing and SUPing
Speaking of Biesbosch, let's go to the waters. For those who prefer a less active activity, they offer nice and quiet boat tours. For those who prefer active activities, you can canoe and "SUP", SUP stands for Stand Up Paddling. It is actually a mix of surfing and canoeing and originates from Hawaii. In recent years, supping has become extremely popular in the Netherlands, making it a must-experience in the Biesbosch.
REFUSE // sustainability center
Weizigt Sustainability Center is much more than the name says! In this nature reserve you will find: a sustainable city farm, the coach house, gardens, a climate greenhouse, the aquarama and an apiary. With the incredible weather you can spend many hours discovering this beautiful property in Dordrecht. Weizigt is located just outside the city center, so very easy to reach.
