    A large sandy area in the middle of the forest. Fun for kids to play and build huts. The hills are fun for children to roll off.

    Mountain biking

    Near Ommen and the hamlets Zeesse and Junne is a large sand drift: the Sahara. According to historical sources, the area once belonged to Landgoed Eerde. It is interesting to know that the Baron van Pallandt had it actively forested in 1840 to reduce the sand drifts. Thanks to him you are now cycling through a beautiful area of sand and pine trees.
