Dutch Coast Path De Zilk - Katwijk (20 km)

The Dutch Coast Path is a Long Distance Trail along the length of the coast of The Netherlands. The aim of Project Dutch Coast Path is to walk this trail between The Hague and IJmuiden (north of Haarlem). We will do this in four stages, each about 20km long. Enjoy the beauty of the Dutch coast and join Project Dutch Coast Path!

This part of the trail starts in De Zilk, a small village at the entrance of the Waterleiding Duinen, a protected nature reserve. We will likely see lots of deer in this area. We will follow the trail through the dunes, past Noordwijk and eventually reach Katwijk, a nice beach town where you can have a drink or get an ice cream and relax.

Meeting time and place: this hike starts at 10am at bus stop 'Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen in De Zilk. This bus stop can be reached from train station Hillegom (via Leiden). The hike ends in Katwijk, where you can take a bus back to Leiden.
