Bargerveen Nature Reserve, Nature reserve and Ramsar site in Drenthe, Netherlands.
The reserve spans 2,083 hectares of peat bogs, heather fields, and small lakes, providing habitats for numerous bird species in the eastern Netherlands.
The area formed after the last ice age when Sphagnum moss started growing in stagnant waters, developing into the extensive Bourtange peat bog system.
The Industrial Narrow Gauge Railway Museum in the nearby Veenpark presents preserved turf trains, representing the regional peat extraction heritage.
The Veenloopcentrum in Weiteveen functions as the main starting point for walking trails through the peatland landscapes.
Bargerveen contains the Netherlands' last remaining living peat bog, where Sphagnum moss continues to grow in small pools called meerstallen.
