Cruysbergen, Nature area between Bussum and Hilversumse Meent, Netherlands

Zanderij Cruysbergen extends over 38 hectares of land, featuring grasslands, wet and dry heathlands with flowers blooming in spring and summer seasons.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, sand from the wide pits of Cruysbergen was transported by barges to Amsterdam for soil reinforcement projects.

The nature reserve represents the Dutch commitment to environmental preservation, maintaining ecological balance through managed conservation and limited infrastructure development.

The area includes maintained walking paths and bridges over ditches, while visitors can bring dogs on leashes throughout the designated trails.

Clean seepage water rises naturally in the ditches of Cruysbergen, creating specific conditions that support distinct plant and animal species.
