Hiking
The 48 km long Orange Canal was constructed between 1853 and 1861 to open up the peat area east of Emmen. In addition, the intention was to trade the boulders found during digging.

Hiking
The canal has been closed to shipping traffic since 1976. There are plans to make it navigable again for pleasure boating. So far nothing has happened due to the high costs of renovating bridges and locks.
However, the importance of the canal for the flora and fauna of the area has increased and the canal has therefore unintentionally developed into an area of great landscape value.
