    A beautiful landscape with sand dunes and lakes.

      The Sahara area lives up to its name: the large sandy plain resembles a miniature desert. But there are also clear blue lakes, heather strips and fragrant coniferous and deciduous forests. The picturesque landscapes and the enormous variety make a walk here a unique experience. Many birds have found a home on and around the water. In winter it is a bivouac for grebes, ducks and swans, among others.

        The Lommelse Sahara is a sand and dune landscape with a size of 193 hectares. In the middle is a lake and all around are coniferous forests. This landscape belongs to the Bosland forest area. The Lommelse Sahara is located in the immediate vicinity of the Kempen canal over which the pedestrian bridge forms a gateway to this sandy area. The area is European protected as part of Natura 2000 area 'Valley area of the Kleine Nete with source areas, marshes and heaths'. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lommelse_Sahara
