For centuries, ships have been ferried across with a pull. From the polder to the then Zuiderzee. This was important for trade: the transport of, among other things, vegetables to Amsterdam and countries along the Baltic Sea. This pull has been electric since 1923. Ultimately, the Overhaal lost its function and fell into disrepair. It has been restored and preserved with subsidies and volunteers. Nowadays it serves as a barge and boat lift for recreation.

De Overhaal van Broekerhaven

Highlight • Monument

The overtoom built in 1923/1924 was intended to lift the polder barges from the approximately 2.5 meters lower polder water in the Kolk to the level of the IJsselmeer. De Overhaal was completely restored in 1993 and made working again. In 2006 De Overhaal is only used for recreational purposes. This conversion is now the only electrically powered barge lift in the Netherlands. Source: local information column and eldestdebroec.eu
