    Beautiful nature around the fen. Too bad a part of the footpath has disappeared and you now have to do a part of the street.

    Hiking

    Located in the heart of the Overloon Dunes, Schaartven is a remarkably clear fen surrounded by forest and heathland. Its water is fed by rain and groundwater, making it a sensitive nature reserve. The area surrounding the fen is a popular spot for dragonflies, frogs, and waterfowl, adding to the vibrancy of this tranquil landscape.

    The contrast between the open water and the surrounding sand dunes creates a unique atmosphere. Hikers experience a mix of tranquility, expansive views, and intimate woodland paths. Especially in the early morning or at sunset, Schaartven has an almost picturesque appearance.
