Then you walk along the Deeneplaatweg to the Deeneplaat. This consists of 2 parts: the western part consists of a rough willow flood forest (parts of the area still flood at high water levels), the eastern part consists of grienden that are still maintained as they have been for centuries.
After exploring the Dane Plate, continue your way back to the Biesbosch MuseumEiland. The museum is open year-round. You can also come here for a cup of coffee or a delicious lunch in the restaurant area.
