The Korenburgerveen is an extensive swamp area within walking distance of the bungalow (5 minutes). The Korenburgerveen consists of raised bogs, swamp forests, heaths and nutrient-poor grasslands. Natuurmonumenten combats dehydration in the area, so that rare plant and animal species can be preserved. Korenburgerveen is an attractive walking area all year round. Excursions are given in spring and autumn, because that is when special plants bloom and there are many birds. This raised bog area has been excavated since the 14th century. Raised peat forms again in the peat pits. This involves specific plant species such as peat moss, annual cotton grass and lavender heather. The intervening peat dikes are overgrown with royal fern, gale and black currant. Due to its vulnerability, the Korenburgerveen is only accessible on the Meddose peat path, except during excursions. This marked path is often muddy. That is why a boardwalk has been constructed and there are several 'stick paths'. Tree trunks have been placed here so that you do not sink into the peat soil. In the future, Natuurmonumenten will also build walking paths through the edge zones of the peat, so that multiple detours are possible.
