On Sunday, November 9th we will gather and join each other on a 14 km hike.

This time we will discover the dunes around Castricum and Heemskerk.

We will start and finish at Castricum train station. We will meet at 12.45 hrs to meet and greet so we can start at 13.00 hrs.

Castricum station is easily reachable by intercity train from
Amsterdam (25 mins) and Alkmaar (10 mins).

From the back of the train station, we immediately dive into the dunes.

We will start off with climbing a staircase of 149 steps to reach a watching tower with a fabulous view on the surroundings.

After approximately one hour we will reach Gasterij de Kruisberg, a restaurant right in the middle of the dunes and forest. Let’s get together around the campfire for a hot chocolate or anything you like.

After that, we are heading towards the countryside and castle Marquette. This is now a luxurious hotel, and unfortunately not open to public, but it really is a stunning sight to see.

Through the countryside amongst horses and cows, we will continue our hike back to Castricum station.

I hope to see you all there and join me on his hike.

To make it easier with paying for a group in a restaurant, we send you a payment request for five euros beforehand. If you have to cancell you will receive a voucher.

I’m looking forward to it!
