A rain landscape in the Achterhoek
Korenburgerveen is a beautiful and very special nature reserve in the Achterhoek. It is a raised peat bog, a landscape formed by plants that live on rainwater, and a very interesting ecosystem. The Korenburgerveen is one of the last parts of the Netherlands that has not been cultivated, there is still real ‘wild land' here. It lies as an island where time has stood still in a landscape that has changed the most in the past 100 years: from forest with heath to large-scale agriculture with intensive livestock farming and grasslands that require a lot of fertilizer and water. This intensification has also created problems for raised peat bogs.
