Tips
You can hear the bell from far away. The bell sounds like the bell of a goat. So we looked for a goat in the forest until we got to the water wheel 😂

So that the Waaler could see whether the water flow of the Waal was OK, there were so-called Waalschellen at certain places, a water wheel with a hammer that continuously struck a bell. Still functioning Waalschellen can be found today on the Waalweg Schenna, Waalweg Schnalstal and on the Marlinger Waalweg.

You can hear the bell from far away and wonder who or what is ringing until you see it.
