​​Nature
The Loonsche Land is adjacent to the vast National Park de Loonse en Drunense Duinen
which has dense forests, open fields of heather, dunes and a sheep pasture.
The holiday village blends harmoniously with this 50 hectare nature area.

A shuttle bus commutes between Loonsche Land and Efteling Park. This shuttle arrives every 15 to 20 minutes every day from one hour before Efteling Park opens until one hour after closing time.
