Hiking
De Krang consists of the Roukespeel and Laagbroek sub-areas. Both peat fens are low-lying basins amidst higher ground. These were once wet, marshy areas avoided by the local population. Later, they were made suitable for agriculture through leveling and drainage. Natuurmonumenten (Dutch Society for Nature Conservation) is working to restore the wetlands here, hoping that valuable plant species native to the area will return.

Hiking
The De Krang nature reserve is located south of Swartbroek and covers an area of approximately 300 hectares.
The area consists of deciduous and coniferous trees, grassland, and rounded fields. It is a marshy area with numerous ponds inhabited by amphibians, primarily salamanders. The leaves of the woody vegetation and deciduous trees fall to the bottom of the ponds, giving the water a blackish cast.
