Veerhaven Drongelen

Veerhaven Drongelen is a ferry access point on the Bergsche Maas, connecting Drongelen with Waalwijk via the Drongelense Veer.

The crossing is one of three ferry services operated by Stichting Bergsche Maasveren, alongside the Capelse Veer (Dussen–Sprang-Capelle) and the Bernse Veer (Bern–Herpt).

The ferry operates on demand rather than a fixed timetable, meaning the skipper will make a crossing for even a single user, whether on foot or by vehicle.

The current vessel is a cable-motor ferry built in 1994, measuring just over 41 metres in length and capable of carrying 18 cars and up to 150 passengers. Cyclists and pedestrians cross free of charge, while motorists pay a fare.

The Drongelense Veer has a long history rooted in the digging of the Bergsche Maas, which cut off several communities from Waalwijk and Heusden. A ferry has operated here since at least the late 19th century.

Since 2009, the crossing has been managed by the Stichting Bergsche Maasveren on behalf of the local municipalities.
