Enjoy cycling around Schagen

Recreation Park De Wielen is the ideal base for a tour around Schagen. Here you can enjoy a wonderfully peaceful cycle through the polders. You'll find tranquility, charming villages, and the high Dutch skies. Everywhere you look, you'll spot a landmark, such as old farmhouses. At junction 40, you cross the North Holland Canal via an authentic pontoon bridge. A little later, you'll pass through Mennonietenbuurt, a former settlement founded by Mennonites in the eighteenth century. North of Schagen, you'll see several bulb fields, and you'll also cycle along the medieval West Frisian Circular Dike. From the winding path, you'll have beautiful views of the surrounding area. In Barsingerhorn, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time—what a beautiful town! Finally, you'll pass the Groenvelder, a thatched polder mill dating back to 1572.
