Early April 2019, Dutch coast and dunes near Castricum and Bakkum; Province North Holland, Three nice hikes 11.4, 10.6 and 7.1km
Again, no need for a GPS-track, lots of signposts and information-panels en route… Acquiring the local hiking and cycling map is recommended. It’s for sale at the information centers, campsites etc.
Varied coastal scenery in this area, managed reserve by PWN, a Dutch producer of our freshwater supplies. Yes, as this area is privately managed you’ll have to get a day-pass at one of the automated tellers. Easy going, lots of (semi)wildlife; birds in particular although this area – as everywhere in The Netherlands can be pretty crowded in the summer. Very popular with cyclists as well although they are limited to hard-surface tracks after 10:30 AM. More photographic impressions from this trip: https://sharex.nl/Castricum2019/
