The Borgvliet Dunes are the breeding grounds of the Nightjar. That's why those beams are there; stay behind them to avoid disturbing the nests! You can also sometimes see deer passing by in the distance.

The Borgvlietse Duinen is a vast area with sand drifts, crossed by the walking route Trage Tocht Zoomland. The area is reminiscent of the larger Loonse and Drunense Duinen, a little further away in Brabant, but in a more compact form. The landscape is rugged and quiet, with wide sandy plains and special nature.
