Lutterzand, Nature area with sand dunes and river banks in Twente, Netherlands

The Dinkel River flows through a 750-hectare landscape of pine forests, heathlands, and sand formations, creating steep riverbanks through natural erosion.

During the 1700s, shifting sands covered fertile farmland, leading authorities to allow sheep grazing along the Dinkel River to prevent further sand displacement.

The area contains geological monuments that showcase the formation of sand deposits, illustrating the natural processes that shaped the Dutch landscape over millennia.

The nature reserve features hiking trails, cycling paths, two restaurants, a campsite with summer houses, and designated areas for river swimming.

Sand martins and kingfishers nest in the eroding riverbanks, while juniper shrubs grow extensively throughout the protected sand dunes.
