This is a wonderful large national park near to Zandvoort. You can bike and walk here a lot between the very beautiful nature arround. It is very silence. You here no cars. To have a nice view and to meditate one of the best places. Especially in the night it is at best to just watch the sky and see the stars shining bright. One of the: Best places in the Netherlands

My weekly run and dip, all year round. The nature is just wonderful here, wild horses. Cows and so many birds.

I went for the first time, I highly recommend visiting the visitors center first! A very nice worker recommended me the blue hiking trail, and omg it was the best!! For my first experience hiking and in the park was amazing, very beautiful, the beach is also nice, strategic hydration points, very very clean, would definitely come again and it’s good for kids and family too.

Such a lovely place! Filled with beautiful landscapes and wonderful energy, this Park is a perfect place to go to on a day off or when you want to enjoy solitude in Nature. I’m very grateful I made it a part of my trip to the Netherlands. A perfect breath of air after a few days in Amsterdam ❤️

Fantastic and different place, so near the city. Animals, plants, dunes and a perfect bike way. Very good.

A nature reserve made up of sand dunes, marshland and water bodies. There is a good network of cycling and walking trails and the information centre is roughly midway between Haarlem and Bloemendaal aan Zee.

Nice park to forget Amsterdam at only a few train stations away.. as a tourist its 8 euros for the train ticket to go and come back but the entrance to the park is free at least. Beaches to relax and you can spot wildlife.

Open spaces and perfect for weekends. We went over with a group of friends and absolutely enjoyed the time spent here. Dogs are not allowed so please be careful and check before you come here. We walked around a lot, while kids went into the water and had fun There were a lot of families, friends, elders and children here. There is something for everyone in this park.

I was hiking with my friends and routes are directed easily. I enjoyed the walking here and seeing the mountain top 😊

Such a nice natural park with two lakes, oceanfront, a pavillion and forest areas. Best thing to do in this park is hiking then getting lost around the dunes. Entrance is free, there is paid parking for cars. One of the lakes which is called Het Wed is close by the entrance and open for swimming. Around entrance there is a cafè next to car park and multiple playgrounds for children. If you are an avid hiker then look for ~12 km long hiking routes on Strava. Spending a wholr day visiting lots of perks in this park may be fun for families with children and solo adventurers as well.

What a lovely place. Free entrance. We have seen cows and horses.

Fantastic national park with amazing views of dunes, woods, lakes, and all kinds of animals. Very tranquil and perfect for the nature lover.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful varied environment. (Original) Mooie afwisselende omgeving.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful! Encountered the horses on the way. At the visitor center you can buy refreshments including mulled wine. Delicious! (Original) Prachtig mooi! Onderweg de paarden tegen gekomen. Bij het bezoekerscentrum kan je versnaperingen kopen, waaronder gluhwein. Heerlijk!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, large park. Nice for short or long walks. (Original) Mooi, groot park. Leuk voor korte of lange wandelingen.

(Translated by Google) Nice for a walk .. Enough space for the car or bicycle to park. The children have also been thought of with regard to walking routes and playground. In short, great for a Sunday morning. (Original) Lekker om even te wandelen.. Voldoende plek voor de auto of de fiets om te parkeren. Ook aan de kinderen is gedacht mbt tot looproutes en speeltuin. Kortom, prima voor een zondagochtend.

Very nice, peaceful place with Buffalo's and you can meet up Doglovers, with her besties❤❤

Maybe the most gorgeous National Park in The Netherlands! It's one of the few places in The Netherlands with elevation differences, making you feel like you're walking in the hills. The park is well maintained, has several lakes where you can swim (Het Wed & Oosterplas are my favourites) and the walking routes are near perfect. They're a bit sandy though, so make sure you wear the correct footgear. The Blue route from Het Wed is my absolute favourite hike in this area of The Netherlands. I highly recommend going here for a hike or a relaxing day at one of the lakes. You won't regret it.

Beautiful views. You can feel very disconnected from the hustle and bustle of city life here, and very connected to nature. Very large place with various marked walking, cycling, bridle paths. If you're lucky you may see some lovely cattle. Can swim in and relax by the lake, explore the sand dunes, walk through the trees, climb up to a lookout and see all the way to the ocean. My favourite place in the Netherlands so far. And only 20 mins on bus from Haarlem station. Wear good shoes, although there is a path throughout it is uneven in some places. On hot days sun cream and water is a must as the wide open areas can feel like a desert. There is a visitor centre and a children's play area at the entrance. Good for birdwatching. Some parts come close to Bloemendaal beach and a nearby campsite.

A beautiful natural space on the crowded central Netherlands (North Holland). Small lakes, sand dunes, pine forests, birds and European bisons. Perfect bike paths and tons of walking paths going everywhere, outlook points, services in the visitors' center, easily reachable by public transport from Haarlem or Zandvoort-aan-zee. Too many people if weather is nice in weekends and holidays.

Pretty unique national park with a mix of different scenes, a lake with a beach, a safari-esque area, forest, field. The entrance has a nice restaurant and playground with some pretty lights.

This was a beautiful clean and peaceful place to come explore. I arrived alone by Uber and enjoyed some hiking on the sand dunes. I cooled off by taking a dip in the Het Wed. It was cool clean water. There were many families with children enjoying the park.

I do not tell. It is a magnificent secret?

Nice place, but very much for dogs. There is two little lakes and you can walk around them through the forest and dunes. There are always people with dogs there and they're loose and running around. The waterside is always printed with doggy footsteps and not very clean or proper for kids or to sit. There are, however, nice benches. Some days you'll hear the roaring of the race track nearby.

So happy my husband and I were able to visit here during a stay in Amsterdam. Took about an hour to get to. What a wonderful and unique landscape! Extensive trails for walkers and bikes going through dunes and pine forests by different lakes with the possibility to swim (if it's warm). Wish I had my swimsuit (we went in late April). We walked all the way to the ocean and grabbed a bite to eat there before walking back.

Lovely park to go for a jog

Must visit, this place is extraordinarily beautiful. Ride bikes, swim, hike dunes... it’s a fantastic get away from the city

One of the best national parks in Europe, less than an hour from Amsterdam. Beautiful hiking/running trails, sweet lakes for swimming, huge dunes, and the North Sea seashore. Nearby is a Formula One racetrack at Zandvoort, DJ booths on the ocean, and a family-friendly clothing-optional beach.

Nice area with a lot of animals. Would recommend to take the bike and stop by to take a walk on the dunes.

Very nice national park near Zandvoort and Harlem. We went there on a business day in the morning, so there were lots of school groups around. I guess the people spread out if you move along the paths, especially if you continue to walk some miles into the huge area. You can go swimming at a small lake near the entrance, there is a tidy restaurant with lots of organic (and tasty) food and a nice gift shop. Couldn't see much wildlife for ... kid reasons ... ;).

Nice place to spend time. Even in September we were able to swim in the lake. Lake is clear, not too cold.

A wonderful place. At times I thought I had left the Netherlands and I was suddenly in southern Italy or South Africa... Marvelous scenery and very well thought out accessibility for people on foot, cyclists and horseback riders too. A magical place if you want to escape the urban bustle of the Randstad.

Good new year start walk! Come back real soon!

One of the better kept natural parks around Haarlem. No dogs allowed so that might be a good thing if you're not a fan of stepping into something! It's usually not too busy when I've been there so you really have time to forget the busy 'randstad' and enjoy our beautiful nature. Parking isn't free but for a small fee you're helping the lot to keep clean and available.

Nice place and great ambiance! Good for Family and better than going to the beach.

The National Park Zuid-Kennemerland is the dune area between Zandvoort and IJmuiden. Accessible from a.o. Overveen and Bloemendaal. Very rich forest and dune landscape, full of birds and also big grass eating animals such as wild cows and horses. There is a fantastic bird lake including an observation lodge. At the beach, there is bicycle parking and at least one restaurant (Parnassia).

Fantastic oasis of quietness and nature do close to Amsterdam and Haarlem

On a great February day with a temperature that allowed to walk a good 15 miles you can see nature's beauty here

We rented bikes and rode through this awesome park! We saw highland cows, horses and tons of birds. The terrain changes throughout the park. It is a day well spent.

Beautiful dunes and forest. Can be a bit crowded in the weekends.

Loved walking here! Beautiful and calming. Even spotted the fox! Will definitely be coming back to spot some highland cows/ bison.

When it's a Summer search, for places Nice like a Perch... Dunes & water and greens we saw, And there's where my Heart Lurch!

Nice park with varied flora - great place to bring kids with a lake and sandy beach where they can swim. Several hiking routes of variable distances - clearly marked and easy to follow. Usually very busy especially on the weekend

Had an amazing day here, really recommend this place if are a nature lover.

Really nice national park with highland cattles, many dunes and nice bike or hike trails. Also worth to visit sand sea beach:)

Great place for a walk or cycling.. track is around 25 km round trip, you can choose to cut it short to 15 km or less with alternative routes.. however i recommend visiting it in summer as you could see more diversity in wild life and scenery

Lovely park with lots of paths. You can easily spend the day wandering around and not get bored even in a gloomy day...

Very gorgeous to take the kids for a ride but not with the old and crippled car Natural animals come across you at any moment Horses animals like foxes oxens clean park there is a place to swim walking sunbathing swimming has every active I was upset that the only star was difficult for sick people to travel the crippled car, so I gave 4 stars and drinks are very expensive 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great place to go for a swim, a bicycle ride, hiking surrounded by nature etc. Definitively a "must go" place

Beautiful park,pure nature , cab see some animals

Huge and beautiful place, wonderful nature. Great when coming by bike, also has dozens of footpaths, perfect place to spend the day

Great Hiking or cycling destination, you can spot small forests, Bisons, deers, and a beach at the end of the trail, would love to go there again and explore more.

Stayed a night in a carpark here. Beautiful location with walks in the park and the beach about 1k across the road, also a good walk to Zandvort.

Sand dunes, the ocean, deer, highland cows, foxes and forests. What more could you want in a hike. The visitor's centre has great facilities including a cafe.

Steppe and dunes like in Volgograd (I have no idea if this information will be useful to someone) 😅 you can meet cows and interesting birds

Fantastic area to walk around and discover the forest
