Historic pumping stations with their return basins were formerly used for water storage. Today, they mainly serve as so-called "landscape windows", from which visitors can experience a wide view over a unique landscape.

Protected by the dikes, the fertile marshland became usable for people on the North Sea coast. But the marsh must be drained. This is how sluices are created in the dike body, which let the water drain into the North Sea at low tide.

The Polder Holter Hammrich nature reserve is located directly on the Leda near Uplengen. It serves as flood protection and is an important habitat for meadow birds. The Leda forms a wide lowland there, but the area itself may not be entered to protect wildlife.

It's great that there are still associations that are committed to preserving such traditional achievements. Financed through donations & usage. It opens punctually on May 1st and the season runs until the end of September/October. It's best to check the operating times online.
