날드윅‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 천연기념물

You are allowed to take your dog with you, as long as it is leashed. There are two hills with semi-natural stairs that are pretty steep.

Great scenery, but bad bike path.

Fort Penserdijk was built in 1885 as part of the "Monden van de Maas en Haringvliet" (Mouths of the Maas and Haringvliet) defence line. It consists of an elongated rampart with steep slopes and is surrounded by a wide moat. During Open Monument Day, the fort on Peltserdijk in Tinte can be visited. During World War II, the Germans took Fort Penserdijk and the identical Fort Noorddijk near Hellevoetsluis into use as shelter and storage. The Germans put the Dutch plan of inundation (deliberately flooding an area) into practice. Allied aircraft and paratroopers could never land in this way. The polders east and west of the Canal through Voorne were filled with seawater. The salt was disastrous for agriculture for years after the war.

One of the few "forests" near Rotterdam. This route is designed so that as much as possible can be walked on footpaths. There is only one steep climb.

It is a beautiful walking area, but of course on a Sunday with nice weather, very busy with families and children. Not bad in itself, but if you are looking for silence, you better go on a weekday.

About the Sand Motor In 2011, a peninsula of 21.5 million cubic metres of sand was created off the coast of Kijkduin according to the principle of Building with Nature. Wind and current spread the sand along the coast and towards the dunes. The aim is to strengthen the coast in the long term and to create a dynamic nature and recreation area. The Sand Motor is a unique experiment, because we work with the water instead of against it. By dumping a large amount of sand in one go, we prevent repeated disturbance of the seabed. Nature places the sand in the right place for us. Peace and space Since its construction, the sand has gradually spread north and south under the influence of wind, waves and current. As a result, the area has increasingly come to resemble the dynamic coastal nature that we know from the Wadden Islands. Various plants, birds and other animals have nestled in the new, attractive coastal landscape. The area also has great recreational value for nature lovers and active sportsmen. The Sand Motor offers a place of peace and space for both humans and animals. Icon for innovation The Sand Motor is important as a driver for innovative coastal maintenance. Since its construction, dozens of researchers from various universities and knowledge institutions have been closely following the development of the Sand Motor. Due to its innovative and large-scale character, the Sand Motor has become an international innovation icon.
