Schoorlse Duinen, Protected nature area in Schoorl, Netherlands

The Schoorl Dunes extend across five kilometers of coastal terrain, featuring the highest dunes in the Netherlands at 55 meters above sea level.

The area was first documented in 1094 as Scoronlo, denoting a forest near a marshy coastline, and later required extensive pine tree planting to control sand movement.

The reserve maintains over 100,000 pine trees, which have become integral to the landscape management and shape the recreational activities throughout the area.

Visitors can access 11 marked walking routes spanning from 4 to 23 kilometers, with the Bezoekerscentrum providing maps and local information at the entrance.

The Klimduin, reaching 51 meters in height, hosts an annual running competition where participants race directly up its steep sandy slope.
