19. Left to the Ecolint

When you have passed the schools and the flats on your left, turn left on the walking path that is next to a cycle path (photo 32). After 50 meters is a bend. There you turn diagonally right through the Ecolint (photo 33).

In the urban area of Amsterdam the Ecolint has been developed as an ecological connection in urban areas. This Ecolint connects the Amsterdamse Bos with the agricultural area and park along the river Amstel. The design of the Ecolint is tailored to the animals that live here such as the pike, weasel, small carakite and shore libel. A pest is the crayfish that occurs here in too large numbers. The water surface was expanded during the construction of the Ecolint, partly with a view to water storage in periods of high precipitation. That is necessary with the current climate change.
