The “Kootwijkerzand” nature reserve is around 700 hectares in size and lies within the much larger Kootwijk forestry area of around 3600 hectares.
The irregularly shaped pine trees are characteristic of this area.
On the open sandy plain, the temperature on the ground can rise to 60°C, while at night in summer it can also drop below 0°C.
You feel like you're in the desert, right in the middle of Europe.
