5 Beautiful walking routes in and around Scheveningen for peace seekers
Nov 30, 2024
When one mentions Scheveningen, thoughts often turn to beach chairs, bustling boulevards, and summer cheer. Yet, there's another side to discover: a world of tranquility, open spaces, and nature. For those who prefer to share the beach with birds rather than boisterous day-trippers, there are beautiful walking trails nearby.
In this blog, we share 5 walking routes around Scheveningen that are perfect for unwinding. And after your walk? Completely relax in your own suite at Hotel Four Stories – featuring a sauna, bath, and sea view.
Through the dunes of Meijendel (approx. 5 to 15 km)
Meijendel is an expansive nature reserve between Scheveningen and Wassenaar, filled with dune landscapes, forests, and open plains. You stroll along sandy paths and rustling trees, with the chance of encountering wild deer or Scottish Highlanders. There are various marked routes, from short walks to longer treks.
Tip: start at Meijendel farm for a coffee or lunch in a quiet spot.
Along the coast from Scheveningen to Kijkduin (approx. 10 km)
This walk follows the coastline entirely, over the beach or the dune path. You start in Scheveningen and finish in Kijkduin – a quieter seaside resort with excellent spots for a lunch break. Along the way, you enjoy endless sea views and fresh air. Perfect for those looking to unwind and move simultaneously.
The Japanese Garden and Clingendael Estate (approx. 4 to 7 km)
A bit further towards The Hague lies Clingendael Estate, a stately park with ancient lanes, water features, and the famous Japanese Garden (open in spring and autumn). This walk is soothing, varied, and rich in history – ideal if you wish to combine nature with culture.
Scheveningen Woods and Westbroekpark (approx. 6 km)
Within walking distance of Hotel Four Stories is a green network of city parks and woods, where you can stroll for hours without feeling like you're in the city. Picture old trees, peaceful paths, and the occasional squirrel. The Westbroekpark is particularly popular with locals due to the Rose Garden in the summer.
Sunset on the beach (approx. 3 to 5 km)
Simple, yet possibly the most beautiful walk of all: a leisurely circuit along the beach at sunset. Start at the Zwarte Pad, head towards the Pier, and return via the boulevard or dunes. The light, the scent of the sea, and the silence make this a perfect moment for yourself.
