Taking to the water
Valhalla for water sports enthusiasts
The (Bergsche) Meuse is a popular waterway. Not only easily accessible and passable, the mooring facilities are also amply satisfactory. Every year, many thousands of guests moor at the ports of Waspik ('t Oude Maasje and De Langstraat), Sprang-Capelle(Aquapelle) and fortified town of Heusden(W.S.V. Heusden and De Wiel). With bikes on board and once ashore, water sports enthusiasts can also explore the beautiful rural surroundings. Conversely, the marinas provide access from the land to the water. Here you can step aboard a tour boat, groups can go supping and raft building, or rent a sloop and let the skipper guide you through the most beautiful spots on the water. What could be nicer than boarding on a hot summer day and enjoying the rippling water?

Going overboard at WSV Heusden
How fun is it when your kids can sail themselves? Watersports Association Heusden teaches kids the intricacies of sailing. This is done in different types of boats, starting in an Optimist; an easily steerable one-man youth sailing boat. After that the transition is made to a two-man sailing boat and then the Centaur; easily sailable with 3 or 4 people on board.
