Meijendel, Nature reserve in Wassenaar, Netherlands
The protected dunes of Meijendel feature a varied landscape of sand hills, valleys, forests, and infiltration lakes that filter drinking water for local communities.
The dune area has been actively managed since the 1850s when the region became essential for water collection and purification for The Hague's growing population.
Educational programs at the visitor center introduce children and adults to the diverse ecosystems through guided nature walks and interactive exhibitions about local wildlife.
The reserve maintains extensive networks of hiking and cycling paths, with clear signage directing visitors to observation points and rest areas throughout the territory.
Meijendel hosts the largest concentration of nightingales in the Netherlands, making it a primary destination for bird watchers during spring migration.
