Name: Sunday Hike: Discover the Kennemerduinen Trail
Start: 2025-05-18T10:30:00+02:00
End: 2025-05-18T15:30:00+02:00
Location: Santpoort-Noord NS train station

Let’s enjoy a Sunday hike together through one of the most beautiful dune landscapes in the Netherlands! It’s not for nothing that this area is a National Park. 🤩

We’ll follow the **NS-wandeling Kennemerduinen**, a 16 km trail starting at **Santpoort Noord** and ending at **Overveen**. The route leads us through quiet forests, wide-open dunes, the beach, and past peaceful dune lakes — a perfect mix of scenery and space to enjoy nature.

Along the way, we’ll pass several scenic spots, and there are **a few places to stop for a drink, use the toilet, or just take a relaxed break**. If the group feels like it, we can finish the walk with a drink together in Overveen.

***

🕘 **Meet-up Time**: 10:30 AM (train from Amsterdam/Haarlem arrives at 10:25)
🤝 **Meet-up Place**: In front of Santpoort Noord Station (it’s small — we can’t miss each other)
🏁 **Finish**: Overveen Station
🕓 **Walking Time**: About 4 to 4.5 hours (including breaks)
🥪 **Bring**: Water, lunch or snacks, good walking shoes (some sandy paths), and a rain jacket — we are in the Netherlands, after all 😉 (Though the forecast looks perfect!)
🚫 **Don’t bring**: Dogs or other pets — they’re not allowed in this National Park.

***

💡 **Getting there**:
Santpoort Noord is easy to reach by **direct train from Hoorn and Alkmaar**, and also from **Amsterdam Centraal, Sloterdijk, and Haarlem**. Overveen Station is also well connected for heading home.

***

This is a great walk to **shed some stress, get moving, and meet other friendly hikers in a relaxed and social way**. It’s a **social hike**, not a sports event — so we’ll keep a steady, comfortable pace and take breaks, but it’s **not a slow stroll either**. If you’re happy walking for a few hours with short pauses, you’ll be just fine. Whether you’re new to hiking or just love being outdoors, you’re very welcome to join!

Looking forward to walking with you. 🌿
