National Park Zuid-Kennemerland
Cycling in a dynamic dune landscape with rare dune meadows, beaches, brushwood and dune forests with a lot of relief and historic country estates.
The Landscape
So close to the busy inhabited world, yet so peaceful, wide and untouched, there are two beautiful nature reserves: the National Park Zuid-Kennemerland and the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen. The rugged dune landscape of these areas forms a nice contrast with the centuries old estates with manor houses and park-like gardens in the dune forests and the wide, golden-yellow beaches along the North Sea coast. From the highest dune tops you have a fascinating view over a varied landscape with forests, lakes, drifting dunes, moist dune valleys, variegated flower fields and the North Sea. Highly recommended for nature lovers!
