Dronkenput

With the boom of coastal tourism at the end of the 19th century, there was also the need for more drinkable water. Middelkerke dug a 9 meter deep well in her backyard and a concrete water receptacle that would be filled with 500m? water. It never got that far… The groundwater in this swampy soil pushed the 213-ton bucket up at an angle and since then a large corner has protruded from the ground. The Drunken Pit got its name because the visitor always wants to keep parallel with the numerous oblique pillars (12?) In the large space and the water surface, which of course remains flat, creating a feeling of loss of balance.
