Especially on hot summer days, it's nice to jump into the water at the end of the trail. But even in early autumn, diving in is still fun. And of course in spring: particularly shallow bodies of water warm up quickly early in the year. Do you want to set out in the middle of winter? Even then, these routes are beautiful, and you might even be able to swap your swimsuit for a pair of ice skates.
In the water-rich Netherlands, there are many opportunities for swimming. Of course, you can walk in the dunes and then jump into the sea. But there are even more beautiful places where you can go for a dive. That's why I've combined a series of special places where you can swim in natural bodies of water with a beautiful hike each.
End a round through the lakes at Ankeveen in North Holland at a natural beach. In the dunes at Overveen, you'll find 't Wed, a dune lake in a beautiful setting. Or how about a walk around the peninsula of Marken, where you can swim with the famous lighthouse 'Paard van Marken' in the background? These are just a few examples of beautiful places where you can finish your hike with a swim.
All hikes start at a car park that is as close as possible to the swimming spot. This way, you won't have far to go back to the car after swimming. However, you can also get to 't Wed comfortably by train.
Just one more tip: Don't forget your swimsuit and towel!
