Description

A small road (Watch out! Rather busy with nice weather!) with good views on the floodplains of the river IJssel. Many Greylag Goose, Barnacle Goose, Canada Goose and other aquatic birds. White-tailed Eagle also visits the area. At the pumping station, you can walk or drive the bad unpaved path to the river IJssel. Left and right of that path in the wet grasslands you will see geese, ducks, waders and Western Yellow Wagtail. On the other side of the river you can see the Vreugderijkerwaard (also described on this website).

White-tailed Eagle bezoekt ook het gebied. Bij het gemaal kun je het slechte onverharde pad naar de IJssel lopen of rijden. Links en rechts van dat pad in de natte graslanden zie je ganzen, eenden, steltlopers en Western Yellow Wagtail. Aan de andere kant van de rivier zie je de Vreugderijkerwaard (ook beschreven op deze website).
