Museum de Peel
for a virtual tour about nature and other interesting info about De Peel have a look at the url below:-)De Peel is an area on the border of the provinces Limburg and North Brabant. The original peat moor was extracted by local inhabitants, but also exploited by large companies that sold the peat as fuel. The local inhabitants have also formed the area by keeping livestock (sheep), collecting firewood and sods of turf. In this way, a large heather and swamp area came into existence, with large bell-heather and ling heather fields, alternating with pools and pits originating from human digging activities.
