Region
Our ferryboats are active within The Gelderse Poort National Landscape. Rugged riverside nature along the Rhine and Waal coupled with the diverse flora and fauna are certainly worth visiting. Over the past years, agricultural land has made way for newfound nature; permitting the formation of ponds, marshes and wild foliage.
Various species now call this newly-formed area home. Beavers also inhabit the area thanks to the efforts of the World Wildlife Fund and the Staatsbosbeheer. You’ll also encounter wild Konik horses and Galloway cattle in addition to an abundance of birds and insects. During winter months, you’ll also find it an excellent place for spotting geese.
You too are welcome to freely roam the natural environments tucked away within the Gelderse Poort.
