Peat extraction in the Weerribben
A large part of this route takes you through the beautiful landscape of the Weerribben. This area was created by peat extraction that took place there for many centuries. Special strips of land were released to allow the peat to dry up. These so-called'ribs\\\' can still be seen in the landscape. After about 15 kilometers you cycle past the polder mill De Reiger and shortly afterwards you cycle past the polder mill De Rietvink.
