As is well known, a fracture is not just a mathematical term or an injury, but also refers to swamp or moorland. Here in the Niels Broek you walk along wet meadows, through groves and forests and along ditches and streams. Alder trees grow along its edge and cuckoo pinks and meadowsweet thrive in its damp ground.
The countless streams and ponds in the swamp forests are a paradise for toads, frogs and salamanders. In spring you can admire cowslips and wood anemones, followed in summer by mullein, for example.
