Description

The Vrombautsput is a lake that can be reached via a footpath that leads to a viewing wall. It is mainly diving ducks such as the Tufted Duck that stay on the lake for a long time. However, less common birds such as Black Tern, Northern Pintail, Red-crested Pochard, Goosander and Common Snipe are sometimes seen.
