Quackjeswater Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

Quackjeswater is one of the two large dune lakes in Voornes Duin. It was created in the 17th century when a growing row of dunes closed an old creek from the sea. The water probably owes its remarkable name to the night heron (or as people wrote at the time: quack), a night heron that used to be common here. Nowadays this bird is very rare in our country and is rarely seen in the Quackjeswater.

Some time ago I came into contact and became interested in walking barefoot, but with the protective layer of a sole.

After reading about this further, I took the plunge and went to a barefoot specialty store to get further information and to feel how those shoes really fit, before actually purchasing a pair.
There is a lot of choice, …

April 6, 2024,Photowalk Voornse Duin

Today a photowalk was planned in the Voornes Duin. At 7 a.m. the walking shoes were allowed to remain in the car and the wellies were allowed to be worn. Not an unnecessary luxury, because we walked many muddy paths, but also paths that were flooded up to our calves. First enjoyed a beautiful sunrise. The route was beautiful, very …
