Quick Facts

History & Context

Origins of Bosweg and the Lighthouse Square The Bosweg—literally “Forest Road”—traces its roots to ancient trackways worn by travelers seeking refuge from the open coast. Winding through the wooded dunes south of Noordwijk aan Zee, it offered a strategic inland route used by fishermen, traders, and even smugglers avoiding the watchful eyes along the beach. Adjacent to its terminus lies Vuurtorenplein, the lighthouse square that stands sentinel between sea and forest. This convergence of woodland path and maritime beacon created a crossroads of geography and function, shaping the settlement’s growth over centuries.
