Your cycling route starts at Boerderij Meijendel Pannenkoeken and more. The Meijendel dune area of the same name is one of the top ten most bird-rich nature reserves in the Netherlands and nowhere else are there so many nightingales. You cycle along the coast to Katwijk. There used to be a grate on the flat roof of the Katwijk Lighthouse on which a fire was lit. The lighthouse had another special function: Katwijk children were told that the children came from the Vierboet. De Put flour mill was built in 1987 as a replica of the original mill from 1619. You cycle through the Raaphorstpolder to Oud-Wassenaar Castle. This nineteenth-century villa with stepped gable, side wings and towers was built in 1876-1879. The stately castle is located in a large park and is used as a wedding location.
