In the middle of the 19th century, peat was extracted from this place, which created the fen. The Turfkoelen is rich in special animals, including the dragonfly. There are unique species, such as the spotted glossy dragonfly. Do you see the dragonfly flying today?

The whole area is actually a swamp and should only be entered with the utmost caution.

The nature reserve "De Turfkoelen" is a nature area with moorlands and is located on an old arm of the Rur. Together with the adjacent Bruchwald and the higher coniferous forest, the area covers an area of about 11ha. From the name can be deduced that peat was stung here in the past. Here live many species of birds, frogs, toads and newts.
