Bronze Age in the dunes of the Amsterdam Waterworks
Water treatment
The Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes are the water catchment area for the city of Amsterdam. Water from the river Lek is piped through large pipes to the AWD, where the water flows into a distribution pond. From here it slowly sinks to the bottom of the dunes, where after 3 months it is purified by the dune and flows into deeper channels. In the post-filtration process in the filter plants of the Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes, the water is brought to drinking water quality.
Did you know that 66% of Amsterdam's drinking water is pre-purified in Noordwijk? The water for Amsterdam has been pre-purified in this beautiful nature reserve since 1853. In this beautiful nature reserve you can also hike and participate in excursions and activities. During the walks you will be accompanied by deer, foxes, cormorants and wild rabbits.
Deer Guarantee
The Waterleidingduinen is home to the largest population of fallow deer in the Netherlands. So there is a good chance that you will see one or more deer during your walk. This is of course a very special experience, but if you want to make your walk through the dunes extra special, you should visit the area during the rutting season in October.
Experience the rutting season
During this period the deer are rutting and they show it. They "growl," similar to a burp, to show the females that they are ready to mate. Then the males run after each other (chase) and engage in combat. The clattering of antlers can sometimes be heard from afar. In other words, a beautiful spectacle.
Historic bunkers
In addition to the large number of animals, you will also find many traces of history in this area. Hidden in the dunes are numerous abandoned bunkers from World War II. You can also visit some bunkers, but beware: bats can live in them. The bunkers were part of the Atlantic Wall, the Germans' 6,200-kilometer defense line.
Wandering undisturbed
The Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes are the domain of hikers; cycling is not allowed here. However, the area is surrounded by an extensive network of bicycle paths (part of the bicycle junction network). And because dogs are also not allowed in this area, you can walk here undisturbed. The beauty is that you can also leave the paths to wander through the forest in peace. No two walks are the same.
