    Nice to see how the Schalterberg water extraction area is filled with water from the Apeldoorn Canal.

    The Schalterberg Water Extraction Area is located in the Veluwe region near Beekbergen and is an important area for drinking water extraction.

    🌊 Rainwater seeps deep into the ground through the clean sandy soil and is naturally filtered. This groundwater is then pumped up for drinking water.

    🌲 The area consists mainly of forest and heathland, which helps keep the soil clean. Therefore, protective regulations are in place to prevent pollution.

    For hikers, it's a peaceful, green area where you can beautifully see how nature and drinking water supply converge.
