The Donkmeer lake in Overmere is more than just a picturesque expanse of water in the heart of East Flanders; it is a silent witness to centuries of labor and human perseverance. This area was once a vast peat bog, where peat—dried peat used as fuel—was dug by hand. This peat extraction shaped the landscape: deep pits formed where the peat was removed, and these later filled with water, creating the Donkmeer lake.
