As the cold winter weather sets in, many people may be inclined to stay indoors and avoid the chilly temperatures. However, a recent article by www.hethaagsegroen.nl suggests that going outside, even in the winter, can be a great idea. The Hague, known for its abundance of natural beauty, offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities and sightseeing during the winter months.
The Haagse Groen has listed five winter walks that offer a variety of landscapes and experiences for nature enthusiasts in The Hague. From beachfront walks to forest and dune trails, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
One of the featured walks takes hikers along the coastline of The Hague, starting from Scheveningen beach and leading to the Jutterskeet of beachcomber Uncle Jan in Kijkduin. The 12.5 km beach walk offers stunning views of the sea and the chance to explore the harbor and nearby parks.
For those interested in wildlife spotting, the Kijfhoek and Bierlap area of Meijendel is recommended. This serene location is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including Galloway cattle, Konik horses, and deer. Visitors can purchase a day pass to access the walking paths and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
The Ockenburgh Estate offers another picturesque setting for a winter walk. With its centuries-old garden, sprawling meadows, and meandering water features, the estate is a haven for nature lovers. The walking tour also includes visits to an urban and care farm, as well as the beach of Kijkduin.
An alternative route takes hikers from the historic city center through the dunes of Meijendel, the Haagse Bos, and the Clingendael estate, ultimately ending in Scheveningen.
