ZANDMEREN STEENFABRIEK
Nederland, Gelderland
Zandmeren Steenfabriek is indirectly connected to the river, the Waal. This has many advantages. You get to see all the species that live in the Waal, without the strong current and poor visibility. Zandmeren Steenfabriek is located in a quiet area where not many people come. Attention! The entrance to the entry point is sometimes closed with a fence to keep the cattle grazing here inside.
Particulars
The Steenfabriek is connected with another lake on the northwest side of the entry point. Big predators are waiting for an easy prey at this spot. The trees on the northeast side of the entrance (left) become partially or totally flooded at high water. This area attracts a lot of fish in search of larvae, beetles and other insects.
Warnings
Sometimes the entry point of the Steenfabriek can't be reached because the fence is locked. If you can get through, close the fence properly to prevent the cattle from escaping. The site becomes part of the river at high water, making diving impossible.
