E-bike route Leiden, bulbs and beach

Your route starts at Camping Ons Wijland. The nickname of the historic fortified city of Leiden is 'Key City', after the city coat of arms. It has the oldest university in the Netherlands and is known for its rich history and the old city center with canals, monumental buildings and courtyards. Today's Leiden is mainly known as a center of scientific knowledge and new technology. From here you can easily cycle to the beach at Katwijk and Noordwijk. Between the park forest of Sancta Maria and the dunes there is a small-scale mix of grasslands with hedgerows, dune fields and coppice fields. Keukenhof is an estate of more than two hundred hectares with beautiful bulb gardens. Also visit Keukenhof Castle, where you can see how the nobility used to live. Then you drive back past the bulb fields and the beautiful Kagerplassen.
