Krang is a Low Saxon word meaning contrary, headstrong. The De Krang nature reserve is located south of Swartbroek and covers an area of approximately 300 hectares. The area consists of deciduous and coniferous trees, grassland, and rounded fields. It is a marshy area with numerous ponds inhabited by amphibians, primarily salamanders. The leaves of the woody vegetation and deciduous trees fall to the bottom of the ponds, giving the water a blackish cast.

The pond is situated between two gates. From the gate closest to the village, you can follow a path with a gate that leads you between two smaller ponds towards the village edge of Swartbroek.

Don't forget to walk to the birdwatching screen via the boardwalk.

De Krang is a nature reserve located between the Leukerbeek stream to the north and the Tungelroyse Beek stream to the south, although there are also several areas on the other side of the streams. De Krang consists of the Roukespeel and Laagbroek sub-areas. Both peat fens are low-lying basins amidst higher ground. These were once wet, marshy areas avoided by the local population. Later, they were made suitable for agriculture through leveling and drainage. Natuurmonumenten (Dutch Society for Nature Conservation) is working to restore the wetlands here, hoping that valuable plant species native to the area will return. De Krang also consists of deciduous and coniferous forests, coppices, grassland, and old, rounded fields. Due to the differences in elevation and moisture content, a wide variety of plants and animals can be found. From the birdwatching screen at Roukespeelven, you can enjoy watching waterfowl such as grebes and common teals. The Krang is also home to the Ellerschans, a farmers' fort built during the Eighty Years' War for protection against the enemy. The fort was completely reconstructed in 2007.

One sees a deer, the other Konik horses. Mine were Galloways. To each his own, right?

The De Krang nature reserve is wet, meaning boardwalks like this one. The two main streams in the area are the Tungelroyse Beek and the Leukerbeek. Here you'll find the Leukerbeek and the Roukespeelven through-flow marsh. The Krang is being deliberately re-watered, by the way. Quote: "The Krang used to be a wetland. In some places, drifting sand created hollows in the cover sand thousands of years ago; these formed marshy areas that were avoided by the local population. Later, these peatlands were made suitable for agriculture through leveling and drainage. The Roukespeel is a remnant of such a former marshland. By damming drainage ditches, Natuurmonumenten is ensuring that the Krang becomes wetter again. Several ponds have been created here, home to unique amphibians such as the alpine newt and the crested newt." https://www.natuurmonumenten.nl/natuurgebieden/de-krang
