The holiday-house of our friends is just located next to the remarkable dunes (see in the background on pic). It is its natural habitat with mainly pine-trees, except for its paths that have been laid out for visitors. If you do love nature explore the reserves "De Kijk-uit" (Watch) and "De Zandpanne" (Sand Place). We always enjoyed the little holidays over there ...

The idea to construct a brand new, beach area was carefuly planned, and maybe the crawling of the rooster fortified the city to become a lovely beach town! With the beautiful villas all around that has been preserved in the famous "Belle Epoque" style until today ...

Between De Haan and Wenduine, the wooded state dunes are great for walking. In these woods with mainly pine-trees, some paths have been laid out for the walkers. We did the "Duinbossen" walking path, which leads you all the way to Wenduine. It's about 7 km.
