After a short but pleasant walk through the beautiful Heemskerk dunes, it looms up: the Kruisberg watchtower. With its robust appearance and impressive height, it calls out only one thing: climb me! Once at the top, you will be rewarded with a view that will take your breath away. On one side, the green forests stretch out, and on the other, the North Sea sparkles in the distance. On a clear day, you can even see Amsterdam!
And the best part? This gem is located in the middle of the North Holland Dune Reserve, a nature reserve where you can stroll, cycle and enjoy the peace and quiet endlessly. Perfect for a day out in nature!
As if you're floating above the world for a moment: the view is magical!
The Kruisberg observation tower is the place to be for nature lovers, hikers and adventurers. Whether you want to get some fresh air, spot birds or just escape the hustle and bustle, this is the place for you. And for the more athletic among you, why not go up and down a few times to give your legs a good workout?
The tower is freely accessible and is ideally located in the Heemskerk dunes. It is a perfect starting point for a longer walk or bike ride through the beautiful landscape. Don't forget to bring your binoculars, because there is a good chance you will spot a deer or a group of Scottish Highlanders!
