Cycling

Coming from the Salamander hiking car park and driving into Hoge Kempen National Park, a large, expansive dune landscape opens up just beyond the artificial wall. A photo hotspot is a fallen tree that appears to be moving on the sand dunes.

Right at the entrance to the national park you are in the heather.

If you like, you should maybe leave your bike here and walk the sand runner path, which is highly recommended and doesn’t take too long.
