Tour of Leiden, Wassenaar and Meijendel

From your starting point you can easily cycle to Restaurant de Baron. Wassenaar is best known for its beautiful villas and buildings. You will also find a lot of nature here: on the coastal side of this beautiful town you can dive straight into the dunes of Meijendel. In the past, many hawthorns grew in the area, from which Meijendel takes its name. The inner dune has a lot of tree growth, closer to the sea you will find 'bare' sandy areas with marram grass. This route also takes you to the historic estates around Wassenaar, such as Duindigt, known for its racecourse. In the park of the Clingendael estate you can see the seventeenth-century country house that houses the famous Clingendael Institute. You will also find some beautiful gardens there. You cycle back past the Royal Estate of Horsten, via the edge of stately Voorschoten.
