Nederland - De Lutte, Lutterzand

Lutterzand is a nature reserve situated in the most eastern part of the Netherlands, nearby the German border. This beautiful area consists of 750 hectares of pine forests, juniper bushes, heathlands, flat moorland and sand drifts through which the Dinkel river runs.

The Dinkel meanders through the area, creating beautiful shores and steeply eroded banks. Along the winding river natural sand cliffs - up to eight meters high - have been cut out by the erosion. Even the oldest and firmest trees eventually perish, drifting off in the current.
