Before a woodland walk or freshwater swim
For forest and dune outings or a summer freshwater swim, check advice for the particular location. Recognising Dutch warning words helps you make a more informed decision on arrival.

The word blauwalg is useful to recognise at a Dutch bathing area: it means blue-green algae. A sign beginning Waarschuwing is a warning. Read the full notice and check the location’s current bathing advice before entering the water; conditions at one swimming spot do not describe every nearby lake.
Useful to know
Read bathing-area notices before entering; Waarschuwing means warning and blauwalg means blue-green algae.
Check current public-health advice about ticks before walking or camping in forests and dunes.
