Rowing Pond, Artificial pond in Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands
Rowing Pond is a large water feature within Efteling amusement park where visitors can navigate rental boats across the surface. The expanse connects different park sections and is surrounded by landscaped grounds and themed attractions.
The pond was built in 1954 as one of the earliest recreational features when Efteling first opened. Its original design has remained a central water feature throughout the park's growth over decades.
This water feature functions as a natural border between different sections of the park, including the separation of the Fairy Tale Forest from newer attractions.
Visitors can row on the pond during regular park hours, with boats available for rent at the boarding area. The water activity works well as a calm break between visiting other attractions within the park.
The water surface reflects the spires and structures of nearby attractions differently depending on your viewing angle. These changing reflections create shifting visual perspectives as you move across the pond in a boat.
