Westduin Park

Welcome to the Westduinpark, a vast nature reserve stretching between Scheveningen and Kijkduin. It's one of The Hague’s largest green areas. Here, you can enjoy peaceful nature walks while discovering traces of history: World War II bunkers still lie hidden in the dunes, silent reminders of the Atlantic Wall. The area has a long history. 

As early as the 12th century, it served as royal hunting grounds. During World War II, the German occupiers built a bunker complex and an underground tunnel network here. This was part of the Atlantic Wall, a 5,000-kilometer defense line along Europe’s western coast. Many bunkers are now sealed, but you can still spot them while exploring the park. To keep the landscape open and diverse, a herd of Scottish Highland cattle grazes here. These striking, long-haired animals prevent the dunes from becoming overgrown and offer a special encounter with wild nature. Always keep at least 25 meters away — especially in spring, when calves are around.
