De Maasduinen National Park

De Maasduinen National Park is a protected area in the Dutch province of Limburg, established in 1996 and covering approximately 4,500 hectares of heathland, forest, and dune terrain. The park occupies a long, narrow sandy ridge stretching over twenty kilometers along the eastern bank of the Meuse River, close to the German border. Its defining landscape feature is a chain of parabolic dunes formed during the last glaciation through the interplay of wind, water, and human activity over millennia. Originally known as De Hamert after the estate at its heart, the park was renamed to reflect these distinctive dune formations. The area represents the longest river dune belt in the Netherlands and supports a mosaic of heathlands, woodlands, and wetlands that form a corridor of ecological significance connecting Dutch and German nature reserves.
