The nature reserve where there is always something to see Meijendel. Meijendel is the dune area between Scheveningen and Wassenaar. It is very large, and has many purposes: sea defense with high dunes, water extraction with water from the Rhine after filtering through the sand, and as a result of protection a beautiful walking, cycling and nature area. These photos were taken on a beautiful winter day.
