About
Lægan Pumpingstation It is open for visitors - with exhibition, intactive model, and landscape model. Lægan Pumpestation is the largest of Tøndermarskens four pumping stations. Pumping stations are cornerstones of the drainage system in Tøndermarsken, as they pump out rainwater from the low-lying marshlands. Due to the clay soil, the water runs from the fields via field drains and ditches out into the canal system. Via the canals, the water is directed to the pumping stations, where rotating scoop wheels raise the water up into diked waterways.
