Tour of Meijendel from Scheveningen

This cycle route takes you through Meijendel, a beautiful nature reserve just above Scheveningen. In the former fishing village itself you can enjoy the beautiful buildings and the characteristic atmosphere. From the starting point, Carlton Beach Scheveningen, you can drive straight into Meijendel, a varied nature reserve. Close to the sea you can see a low vegetation of dewberry, mosses and sometimes dune rose. The prevailing southwest wind has created parabolic dunes with horseshoe-like shapes. Oaks, hawthorns and honeysuckle grow in the woods. Get off at the Meijendel Visitor Center to find out more about this water extraction area. The route also leads you through some of Scheveningen's beautiful city parks, such as the Scheveningse Bosjes. This city park was created at the end of the nineteenth century on an ancient poor dune soil - just like the Westbroekpark.
