Dutch views around Volendam and Zaandam

Your route starts at Café Brasserie Het Heerenhuis, where you can enjoy a snack and a drink before getting on your bike. Today you explore the area around Zaandijk, Middenbeemster, Volendam and Purmerend. Nice to clear your head and enjoy the Dutch views. From Edam you cycle to the town of Middenbeemster. Along the way you will pass Fort Benoorden Purmerend. This Fort is part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam. In 1945 the fort was used to detain people who collaborated with the German occupiers during the Second World War. Via Wormerveer you cycle in the direction of Volendam and Edam. During the route you will encounter no fewer than four mills: Molen De Kat, Molen De Os, Molen De Koker and Oliemolen De Kijker.
