A fen is a usually shallow lake that occurs on Pleistocene sandy soils. Fens have varying water levels and are rarely larger than a few hectares. Fens are exclusively understood as natural waters. They are fed by rainwater or groundwater.

Hiking

A small part of the higher cycle path and footpath where now also a sign of the Reindeer Hunters Path is. The fen itself can be reached via a narrow sandy path through the heath.
