National Park De Maasduinen in northern Limburg is home to the longest continuous river dunes in the Netherlands. A landscape shaped by wind, water and human hands, with rolling dunes, quiet fens, purple heath and vast forests that change colour every season. You come here for peace, space and nature that keeps surprising you. Spot unusual species such as the sand lizard, put on your walking shoes for a route through woods and dunes or get on your bike for a trip along the Meuse.
