    Hiking

    The Drouwenerzand is beautifully situated on the Hondsrug between the villages of Gasselte and Drouwen. Nice to know is that the Drouwenerzand used to be considered one big catastrophe. Years of overgrazing by sheep, cutting heather layers and digging boulders kept the "sand sea" of the Drouwenerzand in constant motion. This was seen as a threat to agricultural land and roads. Wouldn't you say if you walk past it now: beautiful!
