The Roer River has steep banks here on the Dutch stretch that regularly erode. It's a beautiful sight, but you'll also notice that the original walking path has already been rerouted. In some places, warnings are posted about the erosion. Nature isn't unhappy about it.

Turfkoelen lies in an old arm of the Roer River. It is a fen that was created around 1850 through peat extraction. The southern half of the eleven hectares is managed by Het Limburgs Landschap, the northern half by the municipality of Roerdalen. The fen, surrounded by swamp forest, is home to numerous unique species. The area is particularly important for dragonflies. One of the special features is the spotted darter, a rare species confined to only a few areas in the Netherlands. The yellow spots on the sides of its abdomen are a key characteristic. The fen at the heart of the area is covered in yellow water lilies during the flowering season. Source: https://www.limburgs-landschap.nl/natuurgebied/turfkoelen/
