Tour Castricum, Assendelft and Heemskerk

From Castricum you cycle to Uitgeest. Here you see the Dog and the Kat, two beautiful mills. At the Uitgeestermeer you pass the Tweede Broekermolen, a polder mill built in 1631. The next historical sights on your route are Fort Kijk and Fort aan den Ham. In Assendelft you cycle through the longest Dorpsstraat in the Netherlands. It has a length of 7.2 kilometers. You see, among other things, the Sint-Odulphuskerk from 1888. On the other side of the North Sea Canal you cycle through the Spaarnwoude recreation area. It is wonderfully quiet cycling here through the forests and along centuries-old peat meadow areas. Just before Velsen-Zuid you cycle through the park that surrounds Huis Velserbeek, an originally sixteenth-century farmstead.
