# Dog off-lead area

[Nederlands](https://toxopeus.ctxr.app/data/place/honden-losloopgebied.md) • [English](https://toxopeus.ctxr.app/en/data/place/honden-losloopgebied.md) • [Deutsch](https://toxopeus.ctxr.app/de/data/place/honden-losloopgebied.md)

## With your dog

- This is a designated off-lead area: your dog may run free here.
- When you cross the cattle grids, your dog must be on a lead.
- Pay attention to the signs on site and clean up after your dog.

## Parking and route

- You can park at De Meeuwenduinen, A. van de Weijdeweg, 4328 PT Burgh-Haamstede.
- From the car park by the small lookout tower you walk round the back to the off-lead area.
- [Route to the car park](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=De+Meeuwenduinen+A.+van+de+Weijdeweg+4328+PT+Burgh-Haamstede)

## Lovely walk

From here you can take a very beautiful walk to the large lookout tower and the dune area De Meeuwenduinen. Keep your dog on a lead as soon as you have crossed the cattle grids.

## Closed during the breeding season

- Closed period: every year from 15 March to 15 July.
- Reason: peace and protection for breeding birds, such as lesser black-backed gulls, herring gulls and common gulls.
- Accessible: outside this period, so from 15 July to 15 March.
- Enforcement: Staatsbosbeheer strictly checks for entering the area during the breeding season.
- Alternative: there is an alternative route, you can then cut through at junction 60.

You can find more information and routes on the page of [Staatsbosbeheer about the Boswachterspad Meeuwenduinen](https://www.staatsbosbeheer.nl/routes/schouwen-duiveland/boswachterspad-meeuwenduinen).
