Verboten!

Verboten!

The purple pins are places you can't or at least shouldn't go.

These places are on this list for one or more of the following reasons:

  • legally prohibited
  • private property
  • dangerous, toxic, or just plain stupid

Verboten is German for forbidden. In French that would be interdite, which probably has never stopped anybody. It certainly never stopped the Germans. Deutsche is a fine sledgehammer of a language.

Much of this part or Raritan Bay is fenced-off because of lead pollution from the industrial slag used to build jetties and seawalls in the 1970s. Supposedly, most of it has been cleaned up, but the whole area remains 'off-limits'. Since the toxins leach into the water and are carried off by the currents, you really have to wonder about the entire bay. A quick search online will reveal more on this subject than you ever wanted to know.
