During the last ice age, the Weichselien, this area was a polar desert without vegetation. The wind blew sand and formed cover sand. The temperature fluctuated and the soil sometimes froze and sometimes thawed. In that period, pingos, circular depressions created by frozen groundwater. The Mannespoel is an example of such a pingo.
