13km hike Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen

The Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen is a beautiful dune area and important drinking water source. 66% of the drinking water for Amsterdam is being purified here. The hiking route is 90% unhardened and will go along sandy dune paths including some little climbs/descends, beautiful water and most likely some deer.

After ca. 4km we will pass the Oase entrance and visitor centre where we can have a break. At the end of the hike we can have a drink at cafe DUNE which is next to the starting/end point.
