The Pluizenmeer is a characteristic fen (small lake) nestled in the Renderklippen: a heathland and woodland formed by ice-age moraines. Originally called "Vlasmeertje" (Little Flax Lake), it was quickly nicknamed "Pluizenmeertje" (Little Fluffy Peat Grass) because it is fringed with fluffy bog grass (cotton cotton).

The cycle path always runs along the water of the Veluwemeer, sometimes unfortunately right next to the road and often covered by bushes and hedges. There are always bathing bays
