Walking through forest and dunes near Bergen

Anyone who enjoys a long walk through nature will be in their element on this route. You can walk from the edge of Bergen straight into the forests and dunes. Take some provisions with you for the journey, because you will encounter few catering establishments.

Dutch dune
The Dutch dunes along the North Sea are among the most beautiful in the world. On this route you can also enjoy this beautiful Dutch natural gem. You walk through quiet dune forests, along heathlands and through drifting dunes. The landscape undulates occasionally, but with so much beauty around you it takes little effort to move forward on the shell path. In the lee it can be wonderfully quiet, you only hear the wind and some birds. This is how walking is meant to be.

Mountains by the Sea
You walk along the edge of Bergen aan Zee, the only town on your route. On the Verspyckweg you pass the monumental Zeehuis, a former convalescent home for children that originally dates from 1908. For part of the route you need a dune card. This is available at Duinvermaak, a cozy restaurant where you can park for free and refuel after your walk.
