The appearance of the landscape is not created naturally. It is the work of human activity over centuries. 90% of the Venn areas were previously forested.
Up until the Middle Ages there were mainly beech, oak and birch forests. Deforestation, peat extraction, agriculture and grazing took place well into the 20th century. Until 1970 there was a massive reforestation with spruce. Today, nature conservation, water and soil protection as well as the recreational factor come first.
