Het Goor, which, with its regular canal pattern and many water features, reminds us of the peat extraction in the 18th and 19th centuries, is an ideal location to press the pause button on one of the rare benches and replenish your burnt sugars.

Historical interpretation – what is peat?
Peat is dried peat that was dug from the marshy peat areas. The extracted peat was laid out to dry and then used as a raw material. The dried product peat was the most important fuel in our region for centuries - from roughly the 11th to the 18th century.

The nature reserve ‘Het Goor-Asbroek’ is now a large marsh area. Here you can enjoy one of the exceptional botanical top areas in Flanders for hours while walking or pedaling slowly.
