This quarry of Teunesen is a good example of how sand and gravel extraction can go hand in hand with nature development. The northern lake is already developing into a green oasis with bee pastures and rare animal species such as the great crested newt, while extraction in the southern lake is in full swing. Stop for a while and discover birds such as the sand martin or the oystercatcher and enjoy the landscape full of life and history - with archaeological finds that are more than 2,500 years old. A perfect stopover for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet on the Lower Rhine.

Even if the gravel industry takes compensatory measures, the quarry ponds remain unnatural holes in the landscape.
