Mekelermeer in Boswachterij Gees

Highlight • Lake

between Nieuw-Balinge and Gees lies a very special area, the Mekelermeer. At first glance, an ordinary Drenthe fen like many others, beautifully situated in the shady forest of the Gees forestry.
But the Mekelermeer is more than a fen, it is a living history book that tells about an ice age, the first farmers and the time of exploitation and forest planting. The Mekelermeer is one of the largest pingo ruins in the Drenthe landscape. Pingo ruins are remnants of an ice hill from the last ice age. They are often recognizable in the landscape as a round lake, fen or pit.
