Tips

Hannekemaaierspad

April 7, 2023

Peat holes or draft holes occur in the peat landscape, where they have often formed large peat pools. These lakes, if not drained, are often managed as recreation or nature reserves.

The holes were created by dredging peat, the so-called wet painting. This dredging of peat, pulling with the dredging bar, was used from the 16th century for the extraction of peat below the water table. The dredged peat was dried on laying fields, after which the peat could be used as fuel. Many large puddles in peat areas have arisen from drawholes because storms swept away the legaks or because the legaks were also dredged away, from Wikipedia.
