    Hiking

    From this spot you look out over the largest fen in this nature reserve. The Groot Kolkven dates from just after the ice age. The fen is a remnant of an old meltwater valley, which was created by a large swirling water stream.

    Natuurmonumenten also rents this fen to the local fishing club, who are allowed to go onto the fen with boats. On the east side of the fen there is another beautiful lookout point, which is also a fishing spot for wheelchair users.
