10,000 step walk - The icon of Noordwijkerhout

It is not without reason that Noordwijkerhout calls itself the Heart of the Bulb Region: all around you you walk through the picturesque bulb fields. The Leeuwenhorst estate is a nice exception to this. Here you walk through a quiet forest with old oaks and beech trees, but also with blackberries, rowan trees and honeysuckle. Part of the forest was replanted after the Second World War. The Germans dug an anti-tank embankment here in 1943 and not only demolished the country house, but also blindly cut away part of the old forest to create a clear field of fire.

Of all the beautiful buildings in Noordwijkerhout, the Witte Kerkje is undoubtedly the icon of the village. The church originally dates from 1300. If you look closely, you can see from the different stones that the church has been renovated several times. On the side of the ship you can see the low windows where villagers with a contagious disease once had to attend mass. The route ends at the starting point: the VVV Noordwijkerhout.

Take 10,000 steps together

Japanese doctor Yoshiro Hatano investigated how many steps you need to take per day to stay healthy. He arrived at a number of approximately 10,000 steps. This route, just like routes 316764 and 316776, has been specially developed to help you take 10,000 steps in a fun way. You can of course walk these walking routes alone if you want, or with a few friends. But if you want to know more about how to lose weight responsibly, join the guided 10,000 steps walk on a Saturday. Lifestyle coach Marjoleine Klapwijk then gives tips and advice for a healthy lifestyle while walking. She has developed a method to adjust your lifestyle so that you lose about 10 to 15 percent - permanently!
