Zuid-Kennemerland National Park, Coastal reserve with dunes and forests in North Holland, Netherlands

The Zuid-Kennemerland National Park stretches across 3,800 hectares of coastal land, featuring sand dunes, beach areas, forests, and numerous hiking trails.

The area transformed from a hunting ground for Amsterdam's wealthy residents in the 17th century into a protected national park established in 1995.

Multiple historical estates within the park, including Duin and Kruidberg, display the architectural preferences of past wealthy Amsterdam merchants.

The visitor center De Kennemerduinen in Overveen provides maps and information about the park's trails, wildlife observation points, and seasonal activities.

The park hosts a population of European bison, introduced in 2007, which can be observed during guided tours in designated enclosed areas.
