    20 tons of steel, hundreds of meters of welding and many, many hours of work. There is no other way to describe it than a mega project. But both the artist duo responsible (Maree Blok and Bas Lugthart) and the builders of the structure did a good job.

    The work of art is now 100% finished, including lettering and a loudspeaker that makes quiet running water trickle when you stand in front of the lettering. The work was made of Corten steel and has now taken on the typical rust-brown color.

    The Water Wolf is not a random name. It is, among other things, the nickname of the Haarlemmermeer before it was reclaimed because the wild lake devoured large areas of land in the 16th and 17th centuries as if it were a greedy wolf. For example, the villages of Vijfhuizen, Nieuwerkerk and Rietwijk once fell victim to the Water Wolf.
