About the route
The cycling route'Gardens behind the dunes\\\' is a good opportunity to get to know the companies and the charming countryside of the municipality of Schagen. The route is 43 kilometers and is beautiful for cycling. The iconic West Frisian Omringdijk, cultural history, nostalgic villages, special places and hospitable companies are the common thread of this unique cycling route. Farmers, growers, shops and other entrepreneurs often have a stall along the road where they sell their products. The route starts and ends at the bicycle transferium in Schoorldam.
This area is also called 'the gardens behind the dunes', because of the range of growers, agricultural companies and the beauty of flowers. There are many bulb fields between the coast and the city of Schagen, which provide beautifully colored views, especially in spring.
The companies along the route are very diverse in product and activity, making each company definitely worth a visit. This way you can fully enjoy strawberries, sunflowers, pumpkins, artisanal dairy, organic products and tropical Anthuriums in the summer. You can easily spend a day there. You can also book extra activities for young and old at the various gardening companies. You can do this via the provider's website. Have fun cycling!
Information about the sights along the route
Wesfriese Omringdijk
Less than 25 kilometers from Amsterdam is the West Frisian Omringdijk, a wonder of human hand. This dike once protected people and animals from the salt water. Now this 126 kilometer long monument meanders through the West Frisian landscape past polders, mills, VOC towns and bell-shaped farms, cultural surprises and delicious West Frisian regional products.
\\\'t Huys in Nuwendore
The castle't Huys in Nuwendore was a fortress built by Floris V to keep the rebellious West Frisians in check. The castle was built in the 13th century. The castle was destroyed at the end of the 14th century, probably as a result of a dike breach. The foundations were preserved by the National Monuments Service in 1960 and a path was made to them. The ruin is located in a bend of the West Frisian Zeedijk between Eenigenburg and Krabbendam on the Burchtweg. You can visit the grounds and climb the tower.
