Plantloon Estate

Highlight • Forest

The Landgoed Plantloon nature reserve, located southeast of Waalwijk, has been part of the Loonse en Drunense dunes park since 1994.
Plantloon has a completely different character than the shifting sand area in the Loonse and Drunense Duinen.
The estate is one of the last remnants of the Brabant marshland landscape culture.
Since the 13th century, the area has consisted of a few farms, forests, fields and wasteland, avenues, deciduous forests and meadows with hedgerows.
Characteristic avenues with oak and beech trees, the alternation of the forest with agricultural land, picturesque farms and the traces of the former peat trade.
Special here is a remnant of a peat canal that was dug around 1400 to transport the peat from Kaatsheuvel to Den Bosch.

Heather Field in Loonse en Drunense Duinen

In August and September the heather blooms in beautiful purple colors. This is the best time to visit the heathland.

Heather Field

Highlight • Natural

The heather is usually in bloom from mid-July. Go take a look then, because the intense color fades in September.

Nice walk, but because of the heavy rain quite muddy. Has its charms too. Afterwards nice to relax at restaurant Roestelberg.

This morning we visited the Loonse en Drunense Duinen again. Nice route that runs for 90% through the woods. Start was at: De Roestelberg, Roestelbergseweg 2 in Kaatsheuvel.

Due to a lot of mud and wind force 5 at the "dunes" it became a kind of slow walk!

Today we visited the cool forests of the Loonse and Drunense Duinen. With the help of Komoot, a walk was selected in such a way that the sand drifts were avoided.
Wonderfully quiet area. For a large part of the walk, most of the noise comes from the birds. A small proportion of cyclists. For a pleasant conversation it is …
