Cycling through the Schoorlse Dunes

Not afraid of a bit of climbing and descending? Then conquer the Schoorlse Duinen, the Netherlands' widest dune area with the highest dunes: the top of the highest dune towers 54 meters above the seawater. Plenty of room to get a breath of fresh air. A century ago it was one big sandbox, now dozens of bird species breed here, the most beautiful mushrooms grow here and the sunlight plays with thousands of tree leaves. Cycle to the highest dunes, the oldest forests and the drifting dunes. Because a hundred years ago, Staatsbosbeheer had the sand captured by planting trees, but now some dunes are allowed to drift freely again. Get on your bike and enjoy the surroundings. You cycle through coniferous and deciduous forests, past heathland, drifting dunes and burning sand.
