ドロンテンの天然記念物・トップ20

Before 1830, the Beekhuizerzand was part of a large quicksand area. Between 1880 and 1930, it was planted with pine trees on a large scale, especially to prevent dusting. It was also used as a military training area and opened for recreation from 1963. In 2004, many fly pines were felled and the top layer removed from the ground, so that it has become a real quicksand area where the destructible sand has been released again. The area is grazed by sheep.

Nice place to find some peace.

Here you can enjoy nature almost alone

To commemorate the fallen of World War II

Monument in memory of the crew of Allied aircraft that crashed into the water in the vicinity of Harderwijk during WWII. Many bombers flew over the Netherlands towards Germany, often over open water. 117 crew members crashed near Harderwijk. The monument was unveiled in 2012.

On this beautiful sunny autumn day, this walk was beautiful!!! We had to adjust it because my partner started having problems with his ankle, especially going up and down hills. We were forced to look for a smooth road and it was here!! Very nice for us. But the best part is strolling along the hiking trails. I'm from Epe, but this part near Nunspeet was unexpectedly beautiful. A little busier, for example we participated in a small Clinic along the way with a group of older mountain bikers. Very funny. Then you can continue to the HulshorsterZand (a stage of the Zuiderzeepad). have fun everyone.

Great photo opportunity :) overlooking the water

The Hulshorsterzand is a shifting sand area between Harderwijk and Nunspeet. A special area, because it is one of the large sandy areas of the Netherlands. It is perfect for sunrises.
