Park Belvedere The Hague

History in the dunes

Marit from The Hague

About me My name is Marit, and I am a program secretary for the renovation of the Palace of Justice in The Hague. I moved to The Hague to study in 2016 and I have recently obtained my second master's in Asian Studies. Therefore, I am interested in East Asian culture. I like to cook, I love to watch series (especially Korean and Chinese ones). I enjoy walking or cycling through the city and I...
"When you walk around the Park Belvedere it feels like you are in the middle of the dunes, because of the rolling landscape and the trees."

One of my favorite spots to walk around is park Belvedere and the neighboring van Stolkpark (separated by a road, which can be closed due to toads crossing it during the spring). It is located between the centre of The Hague and Scheveningen near Madurodam. However, when you walk around it feels more like you are in the middle of the dunes, because of the rolling landscape and the trees. In the van Stolkpark, there is a nice natural-looking pond with a path surrounding it.

This area is also interesting for a different reason, as it was a major part of the Atlantikwall, which was created as a defense against the allied forces during the Second World War and the German occupation. Villa Sandhaghe is located on the edge of the park and was a command post for the German navy. Underneath park Belvedere there was (and still is) a system of bunkers and tunnels. If you walk around the park you will be able to find some entrances to the system (unfortunately not accessible), so it is a nice park with a story to uncover.
