Tips from the Community
The former raised bog between Woold (NL) and Burlo-Vardingholt (DE) was formed in the last 5000 years. The peat was removed in the 19th and 20th centuries. Little remained of the original raised bog. Today, "Natuurmonumenten" (NL) and the district of Borken (DE) are working together on the renaturation of the European Natura 2000 area. The first results are already visible. Frogs, toads, and salamanders live in the newly formed ponds. Peat moss is growing again and sundew is coloring the ground reddish in places. At the Kuipersweg hiking parking lot in Winterswijk-Woold, there is an information sign that guided tours with a ranger/forester are offered in the Achterhoek. (www.nm.nl/agenda)
