And drive quietly when it is very busy again. On busy days, an ambulance is always ready at the beginning of the path for the many accidents on this busy path.

Dune Pathway in the Netherlands

Highlight • Cycleway

Although the irregular pavement at the beggining is a pain in the ass, you get used to it. It's a very nice road with small uphills (don't expect much from the NL). Can be very crowded on weekends.

The bike path through the dunes is highly recommended, and …

First it went up and down through the dunes. Then through the nature park to Wassenaar, a small inconspicuous town with tw. big old mansions and the theme park. The way back on the main road was safe and easy to drive on, but not a scenic highlight
