Dunes

A vast landscape of fields, woods, dunes and heath lies at your feet here. With a bit of luck you can see a sand lizard scurrying between the dunes, hear a pheasant or a nightjar chirping and enjoy tens of thousands of blooming orchids.
Schoorl forestry
The dense forests of the Schoorl forestry were created in the nineteenth century, because the residents of nearby Schoorl wanted to prevent their village from disappearing under the shifting sand. In recent years, coniferous trees have been replaced by birch, oak and shrubs in some places. It makes your walk wonderfully varied. Dozens of bird species breed here, such as the green woodpecker and the rare nightjar.
