The landscape around Emmen consists of a mix of deciduous and coniferous forests, reed and marshland. A wonderful place to explore on foot or by bike. The open-air museum Veenpark just outside Emmen is highly recommended. Here you can learn about peat extraction over the past 150 years. You can see an old peat village, 't Aole, where you can see how people lived in sod huts around 1870, while the situation between 1920 and 1966 is depicted in the village of Bargermond. In the peat river Runde, islands have been constructed with a playground. A narrow-gauge train runs between the hotspots at the theme park.
