Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen, Zandvoort and Landgoed Elswout

You drive past beautiful nature reserves that are surrounded by capital villas and country estates. Take, for example, the Leyduin country estate, once used by prominent families as a summer residence, and Landgoed Elswout, one of the most beautiful estates in the Netherlands. The route also passes Visitor Center De Oranjekom, located in a restored pumping station. The route leads you through the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen, an area of 3400 hectares through which fifty million cubic meters of drinking water flows annually. There is a good chance that you will come face to face with a fallow deer. The area has the largest fallow deer population in the Netherlands per hectare; that amounts to about 2000 fallow deer in total! You drive past colorful bulb fields via Noordwijkerhout back to your starting point.
