Weerriben

Province Overijssel

I caught this sunshine above the Weerribben
Weerribben-Wieden is a cultural landscape that was created in the 14th century through peat cutting.
This peat was highly valuable as a fuel when dried, and was cut from the areas known as weren.
The peat was then laid out to dry on long strips of lands, known as ribben, thus creating these unique wetlands.
