Dune Lakes Trail

Highlight • Trail

It's wonderful to hike through this still quite barren landscape in March. Fascinating are the many lakes hidden behind sea buckthorn bushes and grass, the crooked trees, the clouds...🤩🥰🤩

Pond and Highland cattle in the Noordhollands Duinreservaat

Highlight • Natural

The dunes between Egmond aan Zee and Castricum belong to the North Holland Dunes nature reserve. You will find many different birds here and the area is really beautiful.

View of the dunes at Noordhollands Duinreservaat

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this high point in the dunes you have a beautiful view of the rolling dune landscape. Overgrown hills alternate with sandy plains as far as the eye can see!

There are grazers in this area - can you spot them?

View of the lake in the Noordhollands Dune Reserve

Highlight • Lake

Because there is not enough grass left for other animals, PWN has relocated the Konik horses to other areas. You will now encounter the Konik horses in South Kennemerland and the dune area between Castricum and Heemskerk.

View of the Wei van Brasser

Highlight • Lake

This is a dune lake that is easy to see, especially from the south side. The immediate environment is very varied (forest, open dune, dune thickets). It is especially interesting here during the migration period: Then you can spot the Redshank, Black-tailed Godwit, Wood Sandpiper, various plover species and Red Phalarope.
