Zandvoort

Within walking distance of the park lies Circuit Zandvoort, one of Europe's best-known race tracks. In addition to the annual Formula 1 race, events, races and track days are organized here all year round. Even on non-race days, a visit is well worth it. Stroll along the circuit or experience for yourself the unique atmosphere of this iconic location on the Dutch coast.

Just a twenty-minute drive away lies Haarlem, one of the most beautiful historic cities in the Netherlands. Stroll through atmospheric streets, admire monumental canal houses and visit the Grote Markt with the impressive St. Bavo's Church. Art and history lovers can visit the Frans Hals Museum, where works by the famous Dutch master are on display, or the Teylers Museum, the oldest museum in the Netherlands. Here you will discover a remarkable collection of art, fossils, minerals and scientific instruments. Between the cultural highlights, you can go shopping at length in the charming city center or settle down on one of the many terraces. Haarlem thus offers a perfect combination of culture, history and Burgundian conviviality.

Adjacent to Zandvoort lies South Kennemerland National Park, a vast nature area with dunes, forests, dune lakes, and open grasslands. Walk or cycle along the many routes and enjoy the varied landscapes, where you can regularly encounter Scottish Highland cattle, Konik horses, fallow deer, and countless bird species. Thanks to the combination of wide sandy dunes, quiet forests, and viewpoints over the North Sea, this is one of the most beautiful natural areas on the Dutch coast. Along the way, you pass historic estates and peaceful picnic spots where you can pause for a moment. Whether you choose a short walk or a long bike ride, South Kennemerland National Park offers plenty of opportunities to experience nature up close.
