Through the Kennemerduinen

Here you enjoy a dynamic landscape: high dune tops offering sweeping views of the surrounding area, interspersed with damp dune valleys where beautiful flowers bloom in spring and summer. You hear the wind rustling through the marram grass and, with a little luck, you might spot Scottish Highlanders or Konik horses roaming freely here. The scent of pine trees and salty sea air accompanies your path. Along the way, you pass various small lakes and clearings that invite you to take a short break. The route is a succession of natural beauty and invites wonder.
