Hiking

Peat cutting began in the Emsdetten Fens in the 15th century. The peat was used to produce fuel. The fen underwent its greatest transformation around 100 years ago when large areas were "cultivated" for agriculture, drained, and peat extraction intensified. The fens were declared a nature reserve as early as 1941 to preserve the last remnants of the raised bog. Today, only 100 hectares of the peat layer remain, and efforts are underway to restore the fens. In 2004, the fens were designated a FFH (Fauna-Flora-Habitat) area, a special protection category of the EU.
