The Rucphense Heide is a heathland area located in the province of North Brabant, the Netherlands. It is part of the larger nature reserve called the Rucphense Bossen en Heide, which extends over approximately 1100 hectares.

The Rucphense Heide is known for its extensive heathland landscape and diverse flora and fauna. The area is managed by Staatsbosbeheer and offers a beautiful environment for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers. In the summer months the heather turns purple, creating a picturesque landscape.

In addition to the heathland, the area also consists of forest areas, fens and sand drifts. It is an important area for various plant and animal species, including various birds, such as the stonechat, tree pipit and nightjar.

Several hiking and cycling trails have been created to offer visitors the opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the Rucphense Heide. It is an ideal place to enjoy the peace and quiet, and to discover how varied and valuable nature in North Brabant can be.
