Van Oosterbeek naar de Loowaard

Experience a fascinating journey along the Lower Rhine, starting from Oosterbeek near the Drielse Veer and sailing past the city of Arnhem. As the Blue Beaver glides along the river, passengers will witness the dynamic interaction between urban development and the natural river landscape. The ship passes the Andrei Sakharov Bridge and approaches the IJsselkop, the confluence of the IJssel and Nederrijn rivers, offering stunning views of the flowing water and the surrounding floodplains.

Discover the Loowaard nature reserve on shore, where a guided walk of about explores marshes, grasslands, and riverbank vegetation. Along the way, the guide provides insights into the history of the old Rhine oxbow region, the diversity of plant life, and the many birds inhabiting the area in summer. Participants will enjoy observing how the landscape changes from thistle fields to species-rich scrublands, and experience the peaceful yet vibrant natural environment of this unique floodplain.
