Tour of the dunes, Egmond aan den Hoef and Heiloo

This short route first takes you through the North Holland Dune Reserve. Initially, the dunes are still low. This is because the mouth of the Oer-IJ used to be here. After a while, you will see the dunes become rougher and higher. Some peaks are above 30 meters. A beautiful, but also quiet landscape to explore at your leisure from the saddle. From junction 30, you turn off towards Egmond aan den Hoef. Get off here to take a good look at the beautiful surroundings. The former Egmond Castle was demolished in 1798, the old castle chapel from 1431 is still there. Along the park-like west side of Heiloo, you cycle to Limmen, the center of bulb cultivation in this region. The route ends at De Oude Keuken.
