The Grafeleikheijdsduinen area was once used for water extraction. When water was withdrawn in 1982, a beautiful nature reserve with dune lakes was created. Large areas of grazing were laid out, drinking water wells and military remnants were removed, and unnecessary fences were dismantled. Scottish Highlanders and Konik horses graze in the closed area. In addition, an observation hut, a lookout point and an educational trail have been set up.
