Spruce Avenue (Noordhollands Duinreservaat)

Highlight • Forest

The Sparrenlaan has lost many spruce trees over the years. Nice to see that the avenue is being restored to its former glory and that many new spruce trees are being added.

My first four-day event. I'm going for the 25km. Chosen the one from Alkmaar. Not too big with 4500 participants and close to home.
Day 1 goes via Bergen. First out of Alkmaar and after the ruin into the Noord-hollands Duinreservaat. Then back to Alkmaar. The 2km short now will be made up tomorrow.

My first four-day event, thought I'd give it a try. Let's see if it works, 4 x 20 kilometers. And get some inspiration for nice walks here near Alkmaar 😀🥾☀️❤️
