Tips
Superb plains. Green in spring and summer, and dry in autumn and spring.
Do not mistake yourself ! These magnificent green plains are also marshy. Hence the many wooden paths on stilts!translated by

The Polleur Venn is a fen landscape created by human hands over centuries and cannot be compared with the vastness of the Walloon Fens. Originally about 90% was forested. Around 1900 the deforestation of the beech, oak and birch forests began. Peat extraction flourished.
Massive afforestation with spruce trees continued until 1970.translated by•October 25, 2021
