Via an underground passage of approximately 162 meters you reach the elevated birdwatching hut via a spiral staircase. This is the best place in the Netherlands for the red-necked grebe. You also have a chance of good photos of all kinds of water and marsh birds such as eared grebe, little grebe, garganey, common teal, gadwall, bittern, shoveler and in the autumn osprey. Below, at the entrance of the spiral staircase, there is a sunken photo hut - at water level - for three people from where you have a beautiful view of the nature reserve.

Because several species of bats hibernate in the tunnel, it is closed for four months. However, the area around Diependal can be viewed during that period. For example, you can turn right from the tunnel and after another 400 meters on foot you will come to a viewing wall that offers a view over an enormous lake that connects the Diependal with the Hijkerveld. In this lake, a hundred meters from the viewing wall, there is a large (bare) tree where sea eagles regularly rest. In the months of September and October, the osprey also regularly comes to catch fish here.

You reach this bird watching hut via a spiral staircase at the end of a 180 meter long tunnel. The hut offers a beautiful view over the flow fields of the former Avebe potato starch factory in Oranje.
