The Auerschutz Hede National Forest is located in a shifting sandy area, partly covered with pine trees. The area is partly used as a military training ground in the Netherlands, where units of the Royal Dutch Army, Royal Dutch Air Force and Royal Dutch Navy are trained, while parts of it have been designated a nature reserve. It is not free to enter the reserve, but you can still come to enjoy nature and hike, or watch the military exercises carried out by the soldiers.
