A beautiful fen in Oisterwijk is the Schaapsven. It is so called because sheep used to be washed in it before they were sheared. The water became more nutrient-rich. Maybe that's why water lilies are still growing.

The Schaapsven is overgrown with yellow water lily and white water lily, and it contains an island with bog myrtle.

From the car park you can easily reach the Schaapsven, it is worth walking around it.
