The Bootjesven - in German as much as Bötchen-Moor - is a natural bog that was deepened by the extraction of peat. At that time, the colony's watchdogs swam here, the vagrants themselves were not allowed to swim. Even today, swimming is forbidden - but not to consolidate power and hierarchy, but to protect nature. The waters are now a habitat for dragonflies and water beetles.
By the way: Not only they can dine here - you can also unpack your picnic blanket at the edge of the biotope.

Beautiful shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

You can take shelter here if it rains. There are several interesting information boards. From a viewing hole, you can use binoculars to observe waterfowl from the fen.

View of large peat bogs.

Highlight • Lake

These fens were created by peat extraction. Peat extraction took place on a large scale in the entire Northern Kempen region between the middle of the 13th and the 18th century. 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.

Now you can spot numerous bird species at this location. The marshy grounds are an excellent habitat for many water birds. Different protagonists can be spotted here every season.
