Hulshorsterzand, Nature area in Nunspeet, Netherlands
The Hulshorsterzand contains 700 hectares of sand drifts, open plains, and scattered vegetation between Harderwijk and Nunspeet in the northwestern Veluwe region.
Two centuries ago, the western Veluwe region contained 7,500 hectares of sand drifts, which diminished due to extensive forest planting for wood production.
Natuurmonumenten collaborates with local authorities to maintain a balance between preserving the natural habitat and providing recreational access to visitors.
Four marked walking trails ranging from 5 to 20 kilometers start from the parking area at Hierderweg, with facilities including food services nearby.
The restoration project has created heath corridors connecting Hulshorsterzand to Elspeetsche heathland, enabling the return of rare species like yellow bumblebee flies.
