Witte Veen

Witte Veen is a protected nature area of roughly 100 hectares, of which about 40 hectares consist of peatland, situated along the border between the Dutch province of Overijssel and Germany. It lies south of Enschede in the eastern part of the municipality of Haaksbergen and forms part of a larger network of surviving raised bogs in the border region. Together with neighbouring sites such as the Aamsveen and the Haaksbergerveen, Witte Veen is one of the last fragments of an extensive former raised bog landscape that once dominated this stretch of the Dutch-German frontier. Conservation efforts focus on reconnecting these separated areas so that they can function more effectively as a continuous ecological unit. The area is recognised as a Natura 2000 site under the European Habitats Directive, giving it protection at both national and EU levels. Its combination of bog habitat, heath, woodland edge, and grazing by large herbivores gives Witte Veen a distinctive character shaped by both natural history and long-running peatland restoration work.
