The natural echo at this site was discovered more than 400 years ago. The effect was enhanced, first with wicker mats, later by means of a semi-circular wall. The wall is hidden so well that it doesn’t even have a Blue Dot.  GM/GE image please. |

Here is a clue for those who shouted but didn’t hear an echo yet. The clue is related to the game of bridge. The name of the small village near the wall is known by thousands of bridge players all over the world, because a so-called bidding convention was named after it (its inventors lived there at the time).

Thanks for the much needed clue!  BTW I haven't played bridge for last 40 years so have almost forgotten all the bidding conventions.   |

Well done all.
The answer: The Echomuur, echo wall, can be found in a small forest, the Echobos, near the village of Muiderberg in the Netherlands. Muiderberg is also the name of a bidding convention in bridge, which actually isn’t very popular, for good reason IMO.
