    Hiking

    In the Maasduinen region, you'll find a whole host of fens. But they don't all have the same history and characteristics.

    The Esven is one of the moderately nutrient-poor fens. And when I visited, it wasn't moderately dry, but almost completely dry, except for a small puddle. As you can read in the other comments, this happens quite often. And other times, it's overflowing.

    More about the Esven and these fen types at natuurparkenlimburg.nl/np/de-maasduinen/over-het-park

    But even when dry, the path along it, leading to other areas and fens, is quite pleasant.

    Hiking

    The Esven is normally dry, but is now overcrowded due to the large amount of rain that has fallen in recent months. Even on the walking paths, but because they were frozen we could walk over them.
