Buurserzand, Nature reserve in Haaksbergen, Netherlands
Buurserzand is a nature reserve near Haaksbergen that includes heathland, wetland areas, woods, and open grassland. Together these different habitats support a range of plant and animal life.
The area was once used for sand mining before being converted into a protected reserve. This transition shaped the landscape into the varied habitats you see today.
Visitors use the reserve for walks and quiet time in nature, finding ways to connect with the landscape through everyday activities. The mix of woodland and open heath creates spaces where people simply enjoy being outdoors.
The reserve is accessed via marked trails that are straightforward to follow and help protect the habitats. Wear sturdy shoes since ground conditions vary by season and can be muddy or sandy.
The site emerged from abandoned sand mining and naturally developed into a patchwork of different habitats. This unplanned transformation shows how landscapes can recover and change over time.
