Camping Ratgeber:
Race track: Circuit Park Zandvoort
The absolute highlight of your Zandvoort trip will be a visit to the Circuit Park racetrack.
It used to be a Formula 1 racetrack.
To this day, adrenaline junkies can take a Ferrari for a spin on the 5-kilometer track and put their skills to the test on the sharp bends.
In the middle of the dunes, some of the bends are 180 degrees sharp, which made more than one professional’s heart skip a beat.
There will be no shortage of excitement and action on this vacation!
But even for those who don’t dare, just watching the fast-paced races makes for an unforgettable experience.
