Description

Can't decide between a walk through vast polders and a walk along the coast and through the dunes? Then choose a route that takes you through both types of landscapes. This route in the area of Groet and Camperduin offers you the best of both worlds.

Blow out in the Schoorl Dunes
The first part of this route takes you through the northernmost part of the Schoorlse Duinen. In this area you can enjoy a beautiful varied landscape. Blow out along the coast and watch the waves that sometimes rage wildly, climb high dunes a little further away from the coast and then relax in the forests of the Schoorlse Duinen. In the past, this area consisted only of sand, but that has changed in the last century. Nowadays you will find heathlands and forests full of animals and plants. From the dunes you walk through the village of Bregtdorp into the typical polder landscape.

Restaurant De Bokkesprong at Hans and Stacey's
The end point of this walk is at Restaurant De Bokkesprong at Hans and Stacey in the cozy village of Groet. Sit down at this historic farmhouse and replenish your energy supplies with a tasty snack and a drink. Would you like to explore the area further? Then you can also follow the cycle route 429393 from here.

The Groetermolen
A Dutch polder landscape includes a mill. On this route you walk past the Groetermolen from 1890. This polder mill drained the polder purely on wind power until 1977. After that, that function was quickly taken over by an electric pump. Nowadays, the mill is used again in combination with the electric pumping station. The mill was extensively restored between 2011 and 2012.
