October 8, 2023,Witte Duinen – Strand Bergen aan Zee Rondje vanuit Bergen aan Zee

The dunes and beach are beautiful. Unfortunately, a large part is on an MTB path, far from ideal. Also a bit further along a normal cycle path. A real shame, it would be better to take a color tour of the walking network.

Beautiful walk with lots of variety. There are currently some places under water, so waterproof footwear is recommended.
