Brielse Meer The year 2020 marked the 50-year anniversary of the bicycle/foot ferry connection across the Brielse Meer. As of recently, you can cross it in silent mode, because it is now powered electrically, by batteries and solar panels. The pick-up points are on both the north and south sides of the lake. The ferry is also connected to the cycling network points 26 and 27. The Brielse Meer is an elongated lake measuring 10 km that forms the boundary between Voorne and Europoort, and is a popular water sports spot with many marinas and restaurants. This freshwater lake is a beloved spot for swimming, kayaking and stand-up paddling. Near the pick-up point on the north side of the lake is the Brielle water sports centre. There are (motor)boats for hire here, as well as Sups, kayaks, canoes and other water-related activities. This super fun location is also ideal for workshops, parties, school and company outings are also organized. There is waterskiing, and wakeboard lessons are also offered. There is also an outdoor café with a nice view of the lake. For people with an e-bike there are charging points available. For more information www.

It has received kings and queens during its rich history, and the likes of admirals, writers, poets and martyrs were among its inhabitants. The olde citadel was once the most famous pilgrimage site in South Holland, and is home to over 300 listed buildings. On April 1, 1572, Brielle was taken by the Watergeuzen (sea beggars) which earned it a prominent place within Dutch history. Cees de Bijl
