Cycling

 

Short and long routes take you through a varied landscape of forest and dunes and the difference in height forms an extra challenge. If you climb to the top of a dune, you are often rewarded with a beautiful view! Along the way there are many opportunities for stopping, for example, at one of the estates, at the Duincafé in the Visitors’ Centre or at a picnic table along the side of the path.
