Some time ago I visisted the more than 80 years old pumping station in mid-winter.

The machines looked magnificent, eager to be started up again. My companions also

enjoyed the trip very much.

Since then there have been significant changes:

- the site was added to the World Heritage List in 1998

- since July 2001 there is an enthousiastic group of volunteers giving a guided tour

- in the tour included is a 11 minutes video

- when in autumn or winter the pumps are needed, there is daily service of guided tours

from 10 am - 18 pm

- since Feb 2002 there is a website operational: www.woudagemaal.nl
