Kennemer dunes, Nature reserve in Bloemendaal, Netherlands
The Kennemer Dunes extend across 3,800 hectares of coastal terrain, featuring sand formations, wild grasses, and interconnected walking paths throughout Zuid-Kennemerland National Park.
The dunes served as a water extraction site until 2003, when operations ceased to allow the restoration of natural groundwater levels and wet valleys.
Wealthy Amsterdam residents established grand country estates in the dunes during the 17th century, leaving architectural heritage structures within the natural landscape.
Visitors can obtain detailed trail maps and guidance at the information centers before exploring the extensive network of hiking and cycling routes.
Since 2007, a herd of European bison inhabits a designated section of the park, contributing to the natural management of vegetation.
