Fort Steurgat

Highlight • Historical Site

This residential fort southwest of Werkendam with luxury apartments in the barracks and in the fort wall is not accessible to the public.

Fort Steurgat then

Adjacent to the Biesbosch, at the southwestern end of the New Dutch Waterline, the Fort aan het Steurgat was built in the years 1881-1882. Several plans were made, but the fort was ultimately not covered by land that could be flooded. The fort served as a barrier to the river and the dike along the Merwede. The Steurgat has a simple basic shape and was equipped with a large bombproof barracks.

Noordwaard Floodplain

Highlight • Natural

The Noordwaard used to be an agricultural area, but in the context of space for the river it has become an area where the water has free rein. At low tide, parts dry up and when the Merwede needs space, it fills up here. Even then it is an experience to go for a walk here. The paths are often just above water! 👌️
