Summary[edit]

Description

Dutch/ English

De Viersprong gelegen in de Dordtse "Polder De Biesbosch" is een kruising van twee polderwegen, in de late middeleeuwen was de omgeving genaamd "Den Princenheuvel" maar nu is het bekend vanwege een nabij gelegen Horeca Paviljoen "De Viersprong". In vroeger tijd, niet eens zo lang geleden, bevond zich hier een natuurbad. Een zwemgelegenheid in "open" water. Niet zelden zat je met je tenen in een mossel die gewelddadig toehapte en zijn schelp om je tenen sloot. Het open water bad, laat ik het zo maar noemen, was bekend als een zondige aangelegenheid. In een tijd waarin mannen en vrouwen, in een zwembad, alleen gescheiden mochten baden, was hier gezamenlijk zwemmen toegestaan. Foei! Inmiddels is de eigenaar van het natuurgebied Staatsbosbeheer. Is het natuurzwemmen daar afgelopen en is het gebied verworven als beschermd natuurgebied.

The Viersprong ( The quadrilateral) in the Dutch "Polder De Biesbosch" is an intersection of two polder roads, in the late Middle Ages the area was called "Den Princenheuvel" (The hill of the prince) but now it is known for a nearby Café "De Viersprong". In the past, not so long ago, there was a natural pool here. A swimming facility in "open" water. Not infrequently you sat with your toes in a mussel that took a violent bite and closed its shell around your toes. The open water bath, let me call it that, was known as a sinful affair. At a time when men and women , in a swimmingpool, were only allowed to bathe separately, swimming together was allowed here. Fie! The owner of the nature reserve is now state forestry. Has natural swimming ended there and has the area been acquired as a protected nature reserve.
