    Hiking

    These sand dunes are the remnants of the sandbanks of the Diestian Sea, which some 7 million years ago, when the Diestian Sea flooded the northern part of present-day Belgium. Parallel to this coastline, which was oriented northeast-southwest, were a large number of sandbanks consisting of moderately coarse sands. When the Diestiaanzee withdrew, the sandbanks came to lie above water and these dunes were created.
    You can call these sand dunes the Sahara of Averbode and are very beautiful to walk through!

    Hiking

    Majestic inland dunes, which are very typical of this region. They were created by the spraying of sand at the front of the Dutch ice sheet during the last ice age. Sometimes you imagine yourself on the coast, so much sand!
