peat bog information

Art in many facets. Beautiful tree.

The hiking trail around the V2 bunker is worth a hike. You also get to many other parts of the facility that you don't normally see in the forest.

Many coastal poles were planted in the beach. They give the beach a beautiful stamp. They are there to stabilize the dunes and the coast and to protect them from erosion. The poles help to maintain the dune structure and prevent them from being washed away by the wind and the water. They play an important role in the preservation of the natural environment and the protection of the coastal areas.

The ascending boardwalk is quite a work of art.

It is far from imagining that here, in the 18th century and until the first half of the 20th century, human activity, linked to peat extraction, was in full swing. And yet these bodies of water bear witness to this exploitation in the past. The arrival of coal put an end to this activity and nature has now reclaimed its rights. Without human intervention, these plains would naturally fill up and make way for a reed bed and then for a peat basin.

Nice, here you can compare the photo with the current situation. 13th century: stone sculptor; 1600: moving with the pole (flat bottom/punter) 1700: dredging with a dredging net 1850: drainage mill 1900: fishing with bundle of branches 1920: harrowing and rolling
