The overtoom built in 1923/1924 was intended to lift the polder barges from the approximately 2.5 meters lower polder water in the Kolk to the level of the IJsselmeer. De Overhaal was completely restored in 1993 and made working again. In 2006 De Overhaal is only used for recreational purposes. This conversion is now the only electrically powered barge lift in the Netherlands. Source: local information column and eldestdebroec.eu

Hiking

A lift (or overtoom) is an installation by which a ship is pulled or hoisted over land from one body of water into another, with the aim of overcoming a difference in level. The lift can be seen as a precursor to the lock
