Here you can still experience the "floating fen" – a typical moorland phenomenon where grassy areas give way slightly when walked on.

Gorgeous hiking trail. After the rain of the past few weeks, the ground bounces with every step, almost as if you were walking on a trampoline.

It's fun to walk on this peat path, although it can feel strange the first time when part of the ground beneath you starts to move. Oh, and don't be too scared if part of your shoe suddenly disappears unexpectedly. Take the driest looking parts on the side of the path if it scares you too much.

As a reminder: "Peat soil is a type of soil that is made up of humified plant material. This wet, spongy soil type is formed by dead plants in bogs and later preserved under wet, oxygen-poor conditions." nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veen_(grondsoort)

Maybe your ancestors once needed peat (dried peat that was used as fuel) too.
