An Inspiring Journey from the River Valley to the Summit of the Grebbeberg Hill
This unique excursion begins at Rivierdal, offering a seamless blend of a scenic river cruise and an active hiking adventure. As the Blue Beaver Safari Ship sails toward the foot of the Grebbeberg, passengers will pass the Plasserwaard and De Blauwe Kamer. The guide provides fascinating details about the transformation of the former Vogelenzang lime-sand brick factory site, explaining how this industrial area has been reclaimed by nature to become a beautiful lake and residential zone.
The hike up the Grebbeberg is a highlight of the experience, leading participants through floodplains and along the lakeside before ascending toward the summit.

This active portion of the tour is designed to be both educational and invigorating, allowing participants to engage directly with the environment while enjoying the fresh air and the quiet beauty of the forest.
The tour concludes with a return to the river, where the ship awaits to provide a relaxing journey back to the starting point. This combination of physical activity and leisurely cruising ensures a balanced day out for all participants. By exploring both the water and the heights, guests gain a comprehensive understanding of the Rhine's geography and the ongoing efforts to maintain the delicate balance between industrial history and natural preservation in the Netherlands.
