Tour of Wassenaarse Slag from Katwijk

The walk starts with a cup of coffee at Hudson Katwijk. First you follow the boulevard south - what a place! From here you walk to the Wassenaarse Slag through Berkheide, a nature reserve consisting of small valleys and parabolic dunes. In some places, bushes and shrubs grow. The many dune roses that bloom in the spring are striking. And the former agricultural fields where dune pipits were grown. You will also come across many remains from the Second World War here. Not surprisingly, the Atlantic Wall passed through this area. Some old bunkers now serve as hibernation sites for bats. Katwijk is home to a wealth of monuments and attractions, such as old churches, the Spinoza House and of course the dune landscape. You also walk through the wooded dune area of the Pan van Persijn.
