Tips

Here in front of you you see an oval/round depression in the field. Colloquially, this dry pingo ruin is also called a 'glacier pit'. And that is not without reason. Pingo ruins are the remains of a so-called pingo, a hill that was created by pushing ice during the last ice age (about 20,000 years ago). When this ice melted, a crater filled with water remained, which then became filled with peat. In some places, however, the craters remained dry because the bottom consisted of coarse sand in which water could not remain. The pingo ruin near Ees is such an example.

It's definitely even more beautiful when the heather blooms in August/September.
