ボホルトの天然記念物・トップ20

Bekendelle is one of the few swamp forests in the Netherlands

Walked in the summer, beautiful piece of forest.

An idyllic forest area through which the small river Slinge winds.

Weir and rest area, very nicely laid out.

Beautiful piece of nature in Winterswijk. You can enjoy walking and there is much to see. Place where the Slinge flows naturally through the forest. High sand banks and closed old stream arms that are flooded at high water. With roe deer and woodpeckers including the black one.

Beautiful and interesting waypoint with weir, hydroelectric power station with Archimedean screw and fish ladder. The excursion restaurant nearby is also worth a flying visit.

In Krechting we have brought the use of hydropower from the past back into the present. Where there used to be a mill, we have built a modern hydroelectric power plant. The Archimedean screw is designed in such a way that fish can safely pass through it. The complex is rounded off by a fish ladder, which enables the river dwellers to ascend and descend, thus significantly improving the living conditions in the river. The optimal functionality of the fish ladder was calculated in cooperation with the Bocholt University of Applied Sciences and is regularly monitored by the local fishing clubs. A trap was installed in the upper area of the fish ladder to monitor the actual fish migration behavior. Since 2006 we have been able to generate up to 250,000 kWh with this system. Converted, this corresponds to an annual consumption of up to 80 households. The facility is located directly on the Aa cycle route and is a popular destination.
