These dunes appeal to the imagination; where does all that sand come from?

Cycling

In the Loonse en Drunense Duinen you will find forest, heathland and especially a lot of sand. It is one of the largest shifting sand areas in Western Europe. The wind can blow undisturbed in many places, resulting in an ever-changing landscape. By purchasing it in 1921, it has been protected for 100 years and we can still enjoy this Brabant Sahara today.

From the cycle path from Giersbergen to the Rustende Jager the sand dunes are clearly visible. Many unpaved footpaths and MTB routes also lead here.
