De Biesbosch National Park - Dordrecht, NL - State/Provincial Parks on Waymarking.com

According to the governmental webpage (Staatsbosbeheer):

"The Biesbosch is an adventurous maze of rivers, with islands with willow forests and capricious creeks with crystal clear water. You can walk and cycle along the edges of the area. But the wet, rugged nature of this swamp is best experienced from the water, in a small boat or canoe.

Silently paddling through the narrowest creeks, bending under low branches, you experience nature from the water surface. Kingfishers fly by, a harrier hunts among the reeds and maybe even an osprey or a beaver makes an appearance. In the Biesbosch you are one with nature.

The Biesbosch is not only a national park, but also the largest freshwater tidal area in Europe. Ebb and flow shaped the landscape here for 600 years. A rugged wilderness, where you will find silence and become silent."
