Nowhere else is a walk as beautiful as in the Loon and Drunen Dunes National Park. This nature reserve is larger than seven thousand football fields and is characterised by a huge diversity in the landscape. It has huge sand flats, wooded areas, ponds and fields of purple heather.
The beautiful nature reserve is also known as the Brabant Sahara. Unwind on the enormous drifting sand plains. The wind has free play here and will effortlessly blow away your thoughts while continuously changing the landscape. This and the changing of seasons make every visit a new experience. Be astonished by the trees buried in the sand and enjoy the beautiful view from the dune tops.
You might very well encounter a flock of sheep. The sheep keep the heather short and eat the young trees, keeping the area open. Every year the heather turns a beautiful purple in the months August and September.
