    Observation tower overlooking the sand fields and on Radio Kootwijk.

      A relatively new modern watchtower built by military personnel, which, with its rusty character, blends nicely into the landscape and from the top gives a beautiful view over the Kootwijkerzand sand drift.

        The observation tower "De Zandloper", which probably means something like "egg timer", was built in 2017 and is 13.5 m high. Its weight is 17000 kg.
        A wonderful place to get a better impression of the extent of the nature reserve "Kootwijkerzand" from above.
