Cycling across the border from Ootmarsum

The Engbertsdijksvenen
You can still find raised bogs in the Engbertsdijksvenen. In most places in the Netherlands raised bog has disappeared due to peat extraction, but excavation of the peat remained limited in this area. Many special plants grow there, such as peat fluff, sundew, cranberry and several types of orchids. Birds can also be found in abundance, such as the bluethroat, the crane, the taiga bean goose and the black-necked grebe. On the rest of the bike ride you will pass typical Dutch windmills such as the Grote Geesterse Molen and the Molen van Frans. At the last mill you will find more information about the flora and fauna around the Mosbeek.
