It is wonderful to cycle around the Alkmaarder and Uitgeestermeer. In some places you have a beautiful view over the rippling water. Feel free to step off to enjoy the peace and the view. There is also no shortage of cultural history. In West-Graftdijk you can see, among other things, the village church, this building originally dates from 1651. Further on is Oost-Graftdijk. Here is a village church from 1840 with a wooden turret. Behind a completely wooden worker's cottage from 1877 is a unique hayloft. Generations of Graftdijkers earned their living flaying hemp for rope makers. Just before Uitgeest you pass a few polder mills, such as the Woudaap from 1651. The Tweede Broekermolen dates from 1631. Via Castricum you cycle back to Landgoed Duin & Bosch. Here you can enjoy a drink at De Oude Keuken.
