Hiking
The former rubbish dump is popularly called 'the old shit bump'. The landfill was formerly used by residents of Urk for household waste. Companies have also dumped debris there. After that, the waste layer is covered with soil. The wooded hill that remains is used for walking, cycling and when it has snowed, children sledge off it.
An investigation in 2018 found, among other things, a strong contamination by nickel in the soil. Traces of zinc and mercury were also found.
