- 12 km
Combine two signposted routes in the municipality of Nunspeet to form the Zandenbos Route, a 12-kilometre route that can be followed from the Nunspeet Visitor Center at the Transferium. There is ample parking at the transferium; This is also located next to the Nunspeet railway station.
The Zandenbos walking route consists of a combination of two walks, which can be followed from the Nunspeet Visitor Center. These are the blue marked 'Round House route' and the white marked 'Margaretha route'. The connection from the blue to the white route is indicated by an arrow on a white shield. The way back from the white to the blue route is indicated by an arrow on a blue shield. The marking of the route is maintained by Staatsbosbeheer.
The Ronde Huis route is a route through a beautiful varied forest where the Ronde Huis used to stand. See the beautiful fens, the remains of the driveway and the impressive rhododendrons. The walk itself is very varied and has small height differences. The Zandenbos used to be one large sandy desert where it was difficult to stay after a day of storm. Now it is an attractive forest area, planted on some drifting dunes. The Zandenbos consists of steep drifting sand hills. In 1881 the Petersom Ramring family purchased the area. The (forester of the) family planted the sandy area with Scots pines, so that a forest eventually emerged. The last heir of the family donated the forest to the municipality of Ermelo (which included Nunspeet at the time) in 1938 on the condition that it remains a public walking area and nature reserve. In 1939, the municipality sold the area to Staatsbosbeheer under the same conditions. The Zandenbos is then a job creation project. In the area that is now called the Margarethabosch, Leonard van Petersom Ramring had a hut built and named it after his wife, Margaretha van Petersom Ramring-De Lange. She used the hut to relax during her walks.
