This area is also known as 'Blue Hand'. In the past, there was a dam in the Beuker/Steenwijk canal, where ships had to be transferred with peat. The peat was unloaded, and on the other side of the dam, it was loaded onto the other ship. Because the peat was very copper-rich, the workers had blue hands. Hence the name Blue Hand. You can find an image of a 'blue hand' on the tile plateau by the bridge keeper's house, at the bridge at the Blue Hand.
