Burlo Fens

Tranquil and refreshing, adventurous, mysterious and exotic! The Vardingholter Venn in Burlo is located on the Flamingo Route and is approx. 18 km from Bocholt.

The 3.2 km circular walk in the Vardingholter Venn runs partly along a dam built in 1983 for rewetting. In the meantime, the neighbouring hand-dug peat pits have filled up with water again and the moor is beginning to grow again. For bird protection reasons, this circular walk may only be undertaken outside the breeding season (15 March to 15 June).

The neighbouring Wooldse Veen in the Netherlands can also be explored on a 2 km circular route. Click here for more information on the nature trails in Westmünsterland, Achterhoek and Twente.
