This steam pumping station used to be powered by a steam engine. Note also the striking, artistically designed chimney and pumps in the machine house. Next to the pumping station is a building where you can find a B&B and where you can also get coffee and cake for a break during your walk!

The pumping station used to be operated by a steam engine, the chimney stylized as a work of art and the pumps in the machine house are reminiscent of this. In the adjoining building is a B&B and coffee / cake is also available here.

The old pumping station in Pannerden has not been in operation since 1970. Nevertheless, the Water Board Rijn en IJssel and the municipality of Rijnwaarden wanted to honor the cultural-historical monument from 1884. The drainage sluice, also known as the 'bach pumping station' after the family that has managed it for generations, is an idyllic part of the Liemers. After a thorough restoration with the help of the province of Gelderland, the Water Board and the municipality of Rijnwaarden, the pumping station opened its doors again in May 2016.
