Tour of Pettemerbos and dunes

Your route starts at Pancake Restaurant Buiten. In Petten you can visit the Coast Information Center, with the interactive exhibition'Sand against Sea\\\'. Here you can see, hear and experience how the coast between Petten and Camperduin has been reinforced with a lot of sand: about 35 million cubic meters. You also walk a bit through the Pettemer dunes and forests, where you can enjoy a nice, sheltered walk. You have beautiful views from high dune tops. During the season you will see many pink and purple orchids blooming in the wet dune valleys. You walk back along the Frans Erinkveld, named after the forester for the Pettemerduinen who lives nearby and has been looking after the area for more than forty years. Actually it should have been the Frans Erinkveldveld, but that turned out to be a bit of a duplication!
