Loonse en Drunense Dunes The first part of the route takes you through the Loonse en Drunense Dunes National Park. This is a varied nature reserve of over 3,500 hectares. A great area to cycle through! The living drifting sands in the Loonse en Drunense Dunes are not found on such a large scale anywhere else in Europe, but it is also a wooded area with many conifers. The damp streams and marshes south of the dunes form a beautiful contrast.

Sights along the way You then cycle to Zwijnsbergen Castle. Zwijnsbergen was founded around 1552 as a simple house with a moat around it. The cellars of Zwijnsbergen form the oldest part of the castle with their rib and barrel vaults. A little further on you will find the Helvoirt Liberation Monument, which was placed to commemorate the liberation of that place in 1945. Then you cycle a large part through the Loonse and Drunense Dunes, before returning to Loon op Zand.
