History
[edit ]The village was first mentioned between 1851 and 1855 as De Veenhoop, and means "place where peat is excavated".[4] De Veenhoop developed in the late 19th century at the intersection of the Polderhoofdkanaal and the Grietmansrak as a peat excavation village.[5]
Nature
[edit ]The Petgatten de Feanhoop is a nature area on the edge of De Alde Feanen National Park. The 200 hectares (490 acres) area of lakes and swamp forest attracted a large variety of bird life, and is a protected area since 1996.[6] [5]
