Living in the Biesbosch means sharing your days with one of Europe’s most vibrant ecosystems. This freshwater tidal wetland is home to over 300 European beavers, the park’s iconic residents. Bird enthusiasts can delight in sightings of kingfishers, bluethroats, great and little egrets, ospreys, and even white-tailed eagles. The diverse habitats also support deer, foxes, and a rich array of insects, including dragonflies, butterflies, and rare beetles.
