Avontuur Dichtbij

January 10, 2025

Due to the -sometimes- high groundwater level, the area is often difficult to access. In 2018, the IVN, the Vrijwillig Landschapsbeheer Uden foundation, Vogelwacht Uden e.o. and Water Natuurlijk joined forces to crowdfund a footbridge through the Raktse Beemden. This nature reserve along the Peelrandbreuk is characterised by narrow, marshy meadows with alder groves. Such a landscape is typical of wet sandy soils. The aim was to make these special, marshy and flowery hay meadows accessible to visitors, without affecting the vegetation. Intensive walking on such a small valuable piece puts a lot of pressure on the flora and fauna. In order to protect this and still give everyone the opportunity to enjoy this place, an educational walk was set out on the initiative of the green associations. With the construction of a boardwalk, the most vulnerable piece of wet nature, across the Peelrandbreuk, is now protected. This allows more people to enjoy the wisdom and (in the right season) the beautiful flowers.

The boardwalk bridge at the Wijstgronden in the Sint-Annabos area was constructed to make the walking path accessible over wet and marshy sections of the forest valley. The elevated position of the wooden planks keeps the path dry, even when the ground is waterlogged due to rain or high groundwater.

The bridge spans a zone of moist soil and marshy terrain belonging to the Wijstgronden—an area characterized by wet soil, moisture-loving vegetation, and fluctuating water levels. Previously, such areas were barely or inaccessible in wet weather; thanks to the boardwalk bridge, the area is now accessible to hikers year-round.

The construction is simple yet effective: wooden planks on a frame that rests just above the ground, so that the natural drainage and peat soil are not disturbed. This bridge is therefore typical of nature reserve management in wet zones: maximizing accessibility with minimal impact on the environment.

For hikers, the boardwalk bridge provides a pleasant transition from dry path to marshy terrain and back again. It marks the fact that you are in a damp, peaty zone – a landscape that would otherwise be difficult to navigate – and makes a walk through the Wijstgronden of the Sint-Annabos possible, even in wet weather.
