Woudrichem “Woerkum”
— A fortified town full of special surprises –-
During the winter period and early spring, the AquaHome houseboat is located at the head of the jetty in the small harbour of Watersports Association Woudrichem with a beautiful view over the Afgedamde Maas. A peaceful spot with occasional sporting activity on the water.
Woudrichem is an absolute small town with a breathtaking piece of nature surroundings. In the beloved Groesplaat nature reserve, you can take very nice walks and enjoy semi-wild Icelandic horses and imposing Galloway cattle running loose there. The convenient ferry system offers the possibility to sail to Gorinchem or Slot Loevestein as well. Woudrichem offers a variety of history, scenic spots, terraces, restaurants, shops, and panoramic views. You can stroll through the town yourself or book a city tour with enthusiastic city guides who can tell you all about the monuments, the Dutch Waterline, river fishing and cultural aspects. Visit the fish auction, the statue of Jacoba van Beieren, the windmill, the Fisheries Museum, and the film locations of Denkend aan Holland with Andre and Janny. Either way, there is a lot to discover in this beautiful, fortified town!
