The 33-kilometre Eiland van Dordrecht Route runs along the Wantij river through the Nieuwe Dordtse Biesbosch and De Elzen forest. On the Biesboschroute of 48 km, you will cycle through both the Holland and Brabant parts of De Biesbosch. The Toeristisch Overstap Punt (TOP; Tourist Switching Point) at the water bus stop Hollandse Biesbosch has an information board that provides tips for cycling and walking routes.
