Very beautiful dune and beach route between Wassenaar and Katwijk. At one section, the route crosses the Atlantic Wall. Update October 2019: The path over the Atlantic Wall is soon overgrown with sea buckthorn and thus no longer passable, unless kept clear by the forestry office. Alternative: Where the path branches right to the gate towards the Atlantic Wall, go straight ahead and take the next right turn (also through a gate).

    Mooie etappe, ook perfect te doen als niet-doorgaande dagtocht, want bij aankomst in Katwijk aan Zee vlotte connectie met bus naar Leiden C en dan met de trein terug naar Den Haag C.

    Great hike, just make sure you check the direction of the wind before deciding whether to do the beach first or last.
