Shipwreck Diving

If you own a diving license, you can jump into the Maasplassen from diving site De Grote Hegge. Even though the water is not always as transparent, you can still find quite a few fascinating objects, including one of the largest freshwater shipwrecks in northern Europe!

Just a few meters out of shore, you will find the vessel with its deck buried into the riverbed. Exciting stuff!

Information: diving is not allowed in July and August.

Dog-Friendly Beach

The lush forests surrounding the Maasplassen lakes are highly suitable for a long walk with your trusty four-legged companion. Should you have any energy leftover after, you can go play fetch at MRT Beach after! Dogs are more than welcome, although we kindly ask you to put them on a leash near Beach Bar Naut.
