Floating islands Put van Rauw
In the Put van Rauw there are four artificial floating islands, constructed by Sibelco and the municipality. They are intended to ecologically enrich the lake. The islands form a unique habitat for rare species such as the black tern and the tern. Each island has a specific function and is made of sustainable materials.
