'Antelope Outdoor'

Antelope is a collective name for all hollow-horned animals that are not called cattle, goats or sheep. And then there are quite a lot left, officially 91. Why officially? Well, an antelope is not an animal, it is a collective name for 91 species that are spread all over the world and in some cases include species that do not actually belong.

Versatile, elegant, fast and in most cases with a great cuddly factor. The Antelope is a collection of animals, most of whom migrate hundreds of miles each year through harsh conditions in search of environments where new life can be born. Springbok living at high altitudes, riverbuck in swampy environments, forest antelope in forested environments and the Saiga in extremely cold areas. They are found on all continents with the exception of Antarctica and Australia.

And then our shop. We would like to reflect all aspects of the Antelope in nature (outdoor) in our business operations. The Antelope, symbol of our passion to offer you a better outdoor experience.
Welcome!

Alblasserdam area

Alblasserdam is located on the banks of the busy river De Noord. In 1494, Alblasserdam was mentioned for the first time, with the name being derived from the river Alblas that meanders through the settlement and the dam that separated this river from the much larger river De Noord.
Over the years Alblasserdam has been threatened several times by the water and that has left its mark on the culture. Shipbuilding, inland shipping and agriculture formed the basis of existence in Alblasserdam for centuries.

During the Second World War, Alblasserdam was hit hard by a German bombardment. Much of the old heart of the village has been wiped out. The Cortgene and the Kerkstraat in the extension of this are from before the war and are located diagonally from the village center. Antelope Outdoor is located on the Cortgene in the oldest building in the village.

There is a junction route in front of the store, which goes through the rest of the old part of the village in the direction of the Kinderdijk windmills. Our store is a nice starting point for a round of windmills that are 5 km away. But there are many more nice villages and places in the area that are definitely worth a visit. Half a kilometer away is the jetty for the water bus in the direction of Dordrecht and Kinderdijk. Dordrecht has a beautiful city center and natural nature reserve the Biesbosch. In the other direction is Rotterdam (20 km) and beyond Kinderdijk you will find a vast polder with dunes, old farms, orchards, ancient villages, (unpaved) tithe roads and a variety of livestock and birds!
