Description

This route starts at VVV Zandvoort aan Zee, they tell you the fun and surprising places of Zandvoort and the surrounding area. These are definitely worth getting off the bike for a while. Experience something unique, discover nature, let yourself be pampered culinary and above all ... enjoy. On presentation of the bicycle discount card you will receive a 20% discount on a Falk-VVV bicycle map of your choice. Safe and trusted on the road! Instead of turning onto the Zeeweg, keep following the coastline as far as Parnassia. Along the way, get a taste of the natural beauty to come. At Parnassia you enter the Zuid-Kennemerland National Park. On the winding cycle path you cross the National Park Zuid-Kennemerland through the Kennemer dunes, Duin & Kruidberg and the Heerenduinen. After about 11.7 km you will arrive in IJmuiden. Take the time to admire the mighty locks between the North Sea and the North Sea Canal. The lock complex consists of the Zuidersluis from 1876, the Middensluis from 1896, the Noordersluis from 1926, the Spuisluizen and the pumping station. West of the locks is Fort Island, part of the defense line of Amsterdam. After the route takes you around IJmuiden, you gradually start the second half of the route. The road leads you past Kasteel Duin and Kruidberg. In the 17th century, this castle served as a resting place for wealthy Amsterdammers. Today the location is used as a hotel, restaurant and brasserie. A little further on are the remains of Brederode Castle, the Ruine Van Brederode. Be sure to get off to take a look among the remains of the castle, which was founded in the second half of the 13th century by Willem 1 van Brederode. Continue through the eastern side of the National Park along the fascinating inner dune edge and towards the well-known café Kraantje Lek. Where some children are brought by the stork, mothers in Zandvoort aan Zee and the surrounding area collect their children from'De Holle Boom\\\' at Kraantje Lek. Although the tree has since been removed, a bronze version has come back to commemorate this folktale. Via the Visserspad you will arrive tired but satisfied in the center of Zandvoort aan Zee. Enjoy a well-deserved fries at Fritures d\\\'Anvers on the Kosterstraat or a hearty bowl of soup from Fleur at De Kaashoek. At both locations you can enjoy a nice discount with the bicycle discount card. If you want to cycle the route, but you do not have a bicycle at hand, you can of course also rent it in Zandvoort aan Zee at Behind the Beach Bike Rentals at Haltestraat 51. With the bicycle discount pass you will receive a 15% discount. Feel like being active? = Looking forward to Zandvoort! This cycle route is offered to you by VVV Zandvoort.
