The intention of the Historical Walking Route Hoek van Holland (through the village, along the Nieuwe Waterweg and the sea, through the forests and dunes) is on the one hand to confront walkers with the many changes - past and present - and on the other hand to get acquainted with many historical monuments available to Hoek van Holland. And there are many, despite the young age of Hoek van Holland.
