From a beautiful old fortified town to a national park with vast, living dunes—unique in Europe. From one surprise to the next!

Dunes
The park is made up of the Loonse and Drunense Dunes, De Brand, and some smaller areas. The living drifting sands in the Loonse and Drunense Dunes are found nowhere else in Europe on such a large scale, but you'll also find many conifers. A beautiful contrast with the streams and marshes to the south.

Heusden
Surrounding the Loonse and Drunense Dunes are estates with characteristic farms, creating a beautiful setting. A scenic rural route takes you back to Heusden, a fortified town on the Meuse River, restored in its original style. Take your time to admire the many centuries-old buildings. For example, you'll see three windmills from the 1970s perched on the ramparts. And within the walls, you'll find numerous restaurants and shops!
