National Park De Maasduinen
Cycling through a unique river dune landscape with forests, moors, fens, drifting sands and lakes.
The Landscape
The National Park De Maasduinen is an elongated nature reserve with the longest river dune belt in the Netherlands. Over thousands of years, these river dunes have been formed through an unprecedented interplay of water, wind, and human activities. The dunes along the eastern banks of the River Maas are mostly covered with forests. Afforestation was the only way to protect the adjacent fields and meadows from the drifting sand. Thanks to the variety of dunes, forests, heathlands, drift sands, and fens, this gently rolling landscape possesses a unique natural beauty. The national park stretches over a length of more than 20 kilometers and covers a total area of over 4,500 hectares.
