There's a concrete path in the middle. Although the surface is rough in two places, it's still easy to get around. Some of the trees have been removed, and the path has been partially repaved. Gravel is laid along the sides.

Lake Donkmeer in Overmere is more than just a picturesque expanse of water; it bears 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 Lake Donkmeer. On the lake's shore stands the bronze Peat Cutter Statue, a powerful tribute to the men who performed this work. Created by Michel Peleman, the statue depicts a peat cutter in action—bent over his work, wearing simple clothing and tools. It recalls a time when peat was the primary source of heating, and when workers performed hard manual labor day in and day out for meager wages. While they lived in simple huts around the lake, their bosses made fortunes from the peat trade.
