Dongen, Tilburg and the Loonse and Drunense Dunes

De Loonse en Drunense Duinen National Park is formed by the Loonse en Drunense Duinen, De Brand and some other smaller areas. It is a varied nature reserve of over 3,500 hectares. The living drifting sands in the Loonse and Drunense Dunes are not found on such a large scale anywhere in Europe, but the area also has many conifers. The moist streams and swamps south of the dunes provide a nice contrast. There are estates with characteristic farms in the area. The area is surrounded by larger and smaller towns and villages, and is located between 's-Hertogenbosch, Tilburg and Kaatsheuvel. A varied range of flora and fauna can be found in this area. Amphibians such as tree and moor frogs or the great crested newt roam around in the wetter part. The badgers released in this area are growing in numbers and form a healthy population, but other hunters such as the nightjar or beach sand beetles also live among plants such as sand sedge, red horse moss, bunny grass or heath spurry.
