The path is definitely designed for wheelchair users - you can see that from the parking spaces at the street crossing that have been specially created for this target group!

At first I was a bit skeptical as to whether this significant intervention in nature was a good idea. But if you don't offer such a boardwalk, visitors will also walk next to the paths and after a few months everything left and right of the path will be flat! Then it's better to take the boardwalk (which also gives you a little better insight because you're walking a little higher up).

Great path to the vantage point, which - like the whole route - is suitable for prams and, in my opinion, also wheelchair users. Impressive views of the dunes and the sea.
