I really love the fact that we live close to the sea. The sea and the adjacent dune region is a beautiful area to go for a walk, no matter what season it is.
Although we do like it when it is a nice and sunny day, like today.
And what a beautiful day it is for a walk. A blue sky, sun and about 20 degrees. That's not always the case when it's almost October. I even took off my sweater to walk in my T-shirt because it was so warm.
The dune area is an extensive region where nature can go it's way. At least, mostly, because there are conservation managers that keep an eye on the are to protect it from invasive species. They also oversee natural grazing by wild cattle and horses.
Visitors of the area are allowed to walk on the paths only. The area is surrounded by fences and cattle guards. You might just encounter one of those big Galloway cows or Konik horses. We didn't spot any today, the area is quite stretched.
The area is green and there are a lot of lakes. These lakes are used as drink water supplies. It is a water catchment area where groundwater is extracted and purified for drinking. Our tap water comes from these dunes.
After a nice walk we ended up at the beach. It was lively and busy. There were a lot of parents with young kids that were playing in the sand and some catamarans you can see in the shot above.
We didn't make a big round today, but the area is quite hilly and large parts of the trail were loose sand, so we did have a good exercise. Of course, we stopped for a well deserved cup of coffee at a beach caf茅.
