A small place with few houses. On hot days, a shady rest here is just the thing.

After the peat bog was extracted in the 1960s, the Dutch Forestry Commission began the renaturation of what is now the Bargerveen nature reserve. Today, due to its exceptional diversity of flora and fauna, it enjoys special protection as a European bird sanctuary and an important wetland. You can explore the area on approximately 30 kilometers of hiking trails, enjoy panoramic views of the bog from the observation hill and tower, or experience the unique landscape on guided tours and accessible rides on the Veenland Express train.

Here stands an old peat excavator, or whatever you call them. It's in noticeably poor condition these days. It's definitely no longer operational.

The Ems Cycle Path is a HL in itself, no matter where you ride. You can only judge it if you've ridden the entire route 😎 and not just know bits and pieces of it.
