Walking route through the 'Brabant Sahara'

1 hour 25 minutes (7.1 km)

An intricate network of hiking nodes allows you to walk the most beautiful trails in National Park De Loonse en Drunense Duinen, such as this eight-kilometer hiking trail from Nature Gate De Drie Linden in Loon op Zand. Simply follow the node numbers on the posts from one numbered node to another. The route leads you mainly on forest paths, from where you look out over the sandy plains and heathland. Feel free to get off the trail for a while and explore the sand flats.

De Loonse en Drunense Duinen is over 7,000 soccer fields in size. You will find huge sandy plains, water bodies, purple moors and vast forests here. It is one of the largest areas of drifting sand in Western Europe. The wind can blow undisturbed across the sand plains, creating an ever-changing landscape. That, along with the changing of the seasons, make for a unique experience on every visit.
