These fens were created by peat extraction. Peat extraction took place on a large scale in the entire Northern Kempen region between the middle of the 13th and the 18th century. Peat is dried peat that was dug from the marshy peat areas. The extracted peat was laid out to dry and then used as a raw material.

Now you can spot numerous bird species at this location. The marshy grounds are an excellent habitat for many water birds. Different protagonists can be spotted here every season.

Vandring

From peat and turf, reclaimed by humans,
these fens once began.
From the thirteenth to the eighteenth century,
the soil here was dug up.

The peat, dried and ready for fuel,
was removed, year after year.
What remains is a rich and wet landscape,
where every bird still had a place.

In the marsh, the bird chorus resounds,
different in every season, again and again.
Winter, summer, autumn, or May,
new guests sing freely.
