The days the old steam pumping station is under steam. During the museum weekend you can feel the atmosphere of the working steam pumping station.

A wonderful and unique experience. The boiler fire, the steam, the smell of lubricating oil, the pounding steam engine, the vibrant water, propelled by six huge Paddlewheels.
