Noordwijk, Katwijk, Leiderdorp

Take a beautiful cycle ride through the dunes between Noordwijk and Katwijk, also known as the Coepelduynen. In the past, this dune area was mainly used for arable and pasture land. And fishermen came here to dry their nets. Nowadays, the beautiful Coepelduynen consist of dune grasslands, special plants, forest and animals.

The cycle route takes you not only through the Coepelduynen but also past the Vlaggeduin, the Klinkenbergerplas and several museums. Have you ever been to the Katwijk Museum? You’ll find this museum in the centre of the old fishing village, close to the well-known Andreaskerk and one of the oldest lighthouses in the Netherlands. In these cosy coastal towns, you’ll find various beach terraces, or in autumn, nice little restaurants where you can enjoy a well-earned break.

Go exploring in the dunes, get some fresh air along the beach, enjoy the beautiful nature and discover the charming inland.
