Bare Dunes

Experience the enchanting nature of the Bare Dunes

Just a few kilometers from our holiday home lies one of the most special nature reserves in Drenthe: the Bare Dunes, also known as the Aekingerzand. This vast drifting sand area between Appelscha and Zorgvlied offers a unique landscape of sand drifts, heathlands and picturesque pine trees. A paradise for hikers, cyclists and nature lovers.

Wander through the rolling sand plains, discover the tranquility of nature and, with a bit of luck, spot a deer or one of the many bird species that live here. The combination of open sandy plains and surrounding forests creates a constantly changing view – every walk feels like a new adventure. Whether you opt for a short walk or a longer trip, the unspoiled nature of the Bare Dunes leaves a lasting impression.

A visit to the Bare Dunes is an absolute must for those who want to experience the peace and beauty of nature, just a stone's throw from the holiday home.
