Who says you have to go to the coast for sand? Nope. Just go to Limburg. The Oudsberg is the largest inland dune in Belgium and is tucked away in the Hoge Kempen National Park like a hidden desert gem.

With its golden sand, pine forests, and tranquil atmosphere, it feels like you're walking outside reality—or on an illegal city trip to the Sahara without passport control. Climbing the dune? A struggle. Reaching the top? The view is your reward.

A unique blend of zen, sand, and sweat. Recommended for adventurous hikers and those who love finding sand in their socks.

In the Oudsberg area, you can discover authentic inland dunes surrounded by heath and forest. The Oudsberg itself is the largest inland dune in Flanders.
