The Drents-Friese Wold National Park is on the border of the provinces of Friesland and Drenthe. This particular area is called the shifting sands of Aekingerzand.
Het Nationaal Park Drents-Friese Wold is een natuurgebied op de grens van de Nederlandse provincies Friesland en Drenthe. Het Nationale Park bestaat uit bos, heide en stuifzanden. Het is vooral bekend vanwege De Kale duinen (het Aekingerzand). Dit stuifzandgebied is groot genoeg om de wind de kans te geven het zand ook echt te laten stuiven. Met behulp van grazers wordt het gebied verder vrij van gras en bomen gehouden.
