Raised bog

Engbertsdijkvenen

with rowan berries
The term raised bog derives from the fact that this type of bog rises in height over time as a result of peat formation.
They are like sponges of peat moss, full of water, that form a more or less dome shape in the landscape.
This photo is taken in Engbertsdijkvenen, one of the few remainders of raised bog areas
