Brielle is a beautiful old fortified town that is also called Den Briel. That's right, the town where Alva lost his "glasses". In Voornes Duin you can enjoy the varied nature.

Stone Beacon
At Restaurant Aan Zee you can enjoy a tasty and sustainable meal in a special place. Then you loosen your legs on the wooded edge of Oostvoorne. From afar you can already see the Stenen Baak, a former lighthouse from 1630 that can be visited at set times. The largely seventeenth-century fortress of Brielle is one of the best-preserved fortifications in the Netherlands. Thanks to the many old buildings, you will experience a wonderful historic atmosphere here.

Museums
Historical Museum Den Briel is highly recommended. Here you will learn more about the history of the fortified city. Just past the ribbon village of Tinte you will pass Museum in den Halven Maen. Here you can take a wonderful leap back in time thanks to old objects such as groceries, tins and tobacco products. Via Oostvoorne you make another loop through Voornes Duin, a beautiful nature reserve. Enjoy the tranquility here while cycling through the dune forests.
