Chaamse bossen, Nature area in Noord-Brabant, Netherlands.

The Chaamse Bossen covers 1,324 hectares of forest land between Gilze-Chaam and Alphen, featuring varied landscapes of woods, meadows, and water pools.

From 1900 to 1934, the area transformed from sandy drifts and wet heathland with ponds into forested terrain, primarily planted with Scots pine trees.

The forest serves as an ecological connection point between multiple nature reserves, including the Chaamse Beek and the Merkske, supporting regional biodiversity.

The area contains over fifty marked walking trails, cycling paths, and mountain bike routes, with facilities for primitive camping at designated pole camping sites.

More than thirty excavated pools throughout the forest provide habitats for amphibians, including the northern crested newt species.
