    Backwater to restore the raised bog

    The construction of a water backwater follows the following objectives:

    1/ Flooding of the dominant moor grass to allow the evolving vegetation to reestablish and sprout;

    2/ Slowing down the flow of water and reducing erosion on the existing raised bog area of the "Misten", one of the largest active raised bog areas in Belgium.

      The rewetting of the raised bog is clearly described on information boards. You can easily observe how the water overflows work.
