De Loonse en Drunense Duinen National Park is a nature reserve in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It covers over 3,500 hectares and has been a national park since 2002. On the one hand, the park is largely an alternation of dry sand drifts and coniferous forest, but also the extensive stream valley zone of the Zandleij is part of it. Here, in particular, lies the De Brand nature reserve near Udenhout, with its variety of coppice forests, wet meadows and wetlands.
The entire park covers more than 3500 ha. About 465 ha of this is drifting sand. The area is also called the "Brabant Sahara".
