Discover the climbing dune & the bear pit

The last cycle route discussed is, in my opinion, the most beautiful cycle route. This route takes you past all the splendor that the Schoorlse dunes have to offer, but be prepared to stop a few times to properly take in the surroundings.

The route starts at a place where almost all routes start, the Schoorlse Duinen outdoor center, where you can ask all your questions about the area. Then you go past the climbing dune, this is perhaps the most famous attraction of the Schoorlse dunes, there are things to see and do here for young and old. As soon as you have finished at the climbing dune, you can go straight to the bear pit, this is a place in the middle of the dunes where you can eat or drink something. Take a seat and consider how you want to continue the route.
