Description

When you think of Katwijk, you first think of the beach. But there is so much more to see in the area. For example, think of beautifully vast dune areas, bulb fields and idyllic lakes.

Lunch on the beach
The starting point of this route is Beach Pavilion Zee en Zon, which is located on the beautiful beach of Katwijk aan Zee. During this route you make a figure of eight, so you also pass the beach pavilion halfway through to take a rest while enjoying a nice cup of coffee or lunch. With a nice view over the beach and the sea, of course.

Walking through the dunes
From the beach pavilion you walk south towards the dunes of Katwijk. Sheltered forests, loose dune sand, concrete bunkers and bulb fields. The dunes around Katwijk are a golden combination of forest and dune, a wonderful environment for walking. You walk towards Katwijk again and then walk into the next nature reserve: the Coepelduynen.

The Coepelduynen
This area used to be used as a field, to dry nets or as a pasture. Now it is a wonderfully varied walking area. The variety of dune grasslands, shrublands and forests and the special plants and animals have made it a nice walking area. It is a fairly open area and the wind has free rein in many places. Everywhere you see drifts and vast plains. The transition to the polder landscape is quite abrupt; there is no inner dune edge. You end the route again at Strandpaviljoen Zee en Zon in Katwijk aan Zee.
