Zandverstuiving Rosmalen

Zandverstuiving Rosmalen is a recreational area in the Netherlands that combines sand drifts, coniferous forests, and patches of heathland. The terrain creates a varied landscape with different paths and natural spaces to explore.

Following World War I, trees were planted to develop the timber industry and provide work for local people. This reforestation effort transformed the landscape and continues to shape the area today.

The art installation 'Wiel van Armando' serves as a focal point that visitors encounter while walking through the site. This work adds a human-made element to the otherwise natural landscape.

The area can be accessed from Deken van Roestellaan or Oude Baan, with parking near the cemetery or at a carpool location. Multiple entry points allow visitors to choose their route based on preference.

The site is home to black woodpeckers, green woodpeckers, hobby falcons, sparrowhawks, and goshawks among other bird species. These birds thrive in the varied habitats that the terrain provides.
