Experience Den Helder at your own pace: walk 21.1 kilometers through city and nature

Slow is also sporty

On Saturday April 11 you can walk the renewed route of The Half of Den Helder. No stopwatch, no rush, just 21.1 kilometers of nature, dike, dunes, and city. Start in Willemsoord, explore the Dark Dunes, walk along the Marsdiep canal, and finish where you began – full of satisfaction.

One route, endless views

The walk follows the same beautiful route as the runners. Along the way, you'll enjoy the Grafelijkheidsduinen dunes, the Zeedijk, the wooded area near Duinoord, and the vibrant city center. Take your time, take photos, and experience Den Helder in full bloom.

Walking is something you do together

All participants start at Willemsoord, near Theater De Kampanje. The route is clearly marked. There are refreshment stations along the way with water and support. Whether you're running with friends or solo, you're never alone.

Guided tour
Would you like to join a tour of this magnificent fort? The "Fort op de Harssens," unknown to many, was built as an armored fort by the Dutch between 1880 and 1886, then and now part of Stelling Den Helder (Fortress Den Helder). What will you experience? An authentic fort (without furnishings, etc.) where time seems to have stood still. The atmosphere of 1900 is still palpable.
