Tour of the North Holland Dune Reserve from Castricum

From Castricum you can take a beautiful trip through the dunes. First you drive on a car-free road through the polder. Here you can enjoy the panoramic views over the fields. You cycle through Noorddorp, after which you enter the North Holland Dune Reserve. First you drive through the woods here. After a while the trees make way for dune shrubs and dune grasses. It is beautiful to cycle here in the shelter. Sometimes you hear the sea breeze, sometimes the birds flying around here chattering. North of the Zeeweg you turn east, back into the quiet woods. Just before junction 16 you reach Duin en Bosch Estate with its beautiful old buildings. Back in the heart of Castricum you are welcome for a delicious meal at Snackbistro de Toren.
