Walking along the water from 's-Gravenzande

Lakes, canals and the sea accompany you on this beautiful walking route around the beautiful old's-Gravenzande. Along the way you look out over the dunes and then over the greenhouses. Variety galore!

's-Gravenzande
's-Gravenzande was granted city rights by Count Willem II of Holland as early as 1246. Just like his father Count Floris IV, he stayed here regularly - hence the name's-Gravenzande. The sand in the name refers to the silted-up mouth of the Maas, where the town originated. In Westland style, the town is called something completely different: Breeje Durp.

Watery walk
You immediately walk to the Plas van alle Winden, which is part of the Poelzone: a connecting zone from the dunes to the forests near Naaldwijk. A little later you see even more water when you follow the Vlotwatering all the way to the sea. You follow the coastline to Hoek van Holland, where you cut through the beautiful rugged dune area, back into the inhabited world. You walk back through the dunes, with views over the greenhouses.

Please note: part of this route runs over the beach. This route is therefore not completely paved and not equally easy to walk everywhere for everyone.
