An ancient dune forest full of bunkers, mushrooms, and quiet walking trails.
Staelduinse Bos is an ancient dune forest and a green oasis among the greenhouses, part of National Park Hollandse Duinen. You can wander along winding paths past old bunkers and search for mushrooms in autumn. Start at visitor centre d'Oude Koestal, where volunteers will tell you everything about the flora and fauna of the forest.
