For centuries, the Maas and Waal rivers have enclosed the Bommelerwaard region.
The two rivers meet in the east at the village of Heerewaarden, then meander away from each other, and converge once again at Loevestein Castle, thus forming
the ‘island of Bommelerwaard’.

The village of Kerkwijk, situated in the heart of Bommelerwaard, was formerly named ‘Kirkewihc, which is evident from the well-preserved 13th-century chronicles.
In this rustic little village you will find a stately, beautifully restored country estate whose rich history dates back to 1793. This is where bed and breakfast Het Paradijs is located, surrounded by mature standard fruit trees.

Guests of Het Paradijs have numerous options for
delightful walks and cycling tours in this historic region. Many of the nearby picturesque villages still have authentic characteristics typical of the area.
Also close by is De Lieskampen, an artificial nature reserve with wet meadows, deciduous forests, waterways, lakes and duck decoys, which formerly existed in other parts of Bommelerwaard as well.
And after you’ve explored the surroundings, there is no better place to relax than the enclosed terrace of Het Paradijs with a glass of wine in your hand.
And that, indeed, is paradise.
