Kootwijkerzand
The Kootwijkerzand is a drifting sand area in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is the largest drifting sand area in Western Europe. The nature reserve covers 700 hectares and is located in the western part of the Veluwe, within the much larger Kootwijk forestry (approx. 3600 ha) near Kootwijk. To the south of the Kootwijkerzand lies the Harskampse Zand, to the east the village of Radio Kootwijk. About ten kilometers to the southwest on the Veluwe, southwest of the village of Wekerom, lies the more than 500 hectare Wekeromse Zand, which includes a smaller drifting sand area (100 ha).
