    Hiking

    During the Second World War, a Munitions Ausgabe Stelle (M.A.St) was located here in the dunes. Ammunition for Gilze Rijen airport was stored here because storage at the airport was considered too dangerous. On Mad Tuesday, when the Allies advanced, all explosives were blown up to keep them out of the Allies' hands. The craters can still be seen in several places.

    Hiking

    At various places in the Loonse en Drunense Duinen nature reserve, craters can be found in which the Germans had stored ammunition in WW2 and which they detonated when the Allies advanced.
