Thanks for all your nice comments. Some wondered where and what this is: It's the official cartographic start of a small river (a stream, creek or brook I don't know the difference) in dutch "beek". The whole region is called a "beekdal" or stream valley.
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=51.311757,5.536637&spn=0.019931,0.0315&z=15 Since this is the netherlands everything is flat and a valley is only a few meters difference. The region isn't even a proper "wetland" they installed small water gates to keep the water level in the area high enough for a wetland. Most of the dutch nature is mixed with farmland and worse with lots of cattle and pig breeding, The pig population outnumbers the human population. The resulting manure is used to fertilize the land, since the soil is mainly sand the manure seeps through. What you see is the smelly result captured by the water gate. The good news is I like these pictures and the forest and wetland surrounding this smelly water gate is my favorite foraging spot.
