Through the Schoorlse Duinen to Alkmaar

You will experience a wonderful cycling day around Alkmaar. You drive through the Schoorlse Duinen and the old city center of Alkmaar. You will also cycle through beautiful towns such as Bergen aan Zee, Broek op Langedijk and Schoorl.

Schoorl Dunes
The route starts at Restaurant De Bokkesprong with Hans and Stacey. Grab a drink here before you cycle into the Schoorlse Duinen. A century ago there was still one large sandpit here, now you can enjoy a varied landscape of forest, dunes and heath. In June and July, the many thousands of pine orchids form a white carpet. You will also pass through Bergen aan Zee, where you can get a breath of fresh air by the water.

Oudorperhout
There are no fewer than 399 national monuments in the old town of Alkmaar! Here you will find a succession of canals, old courtyards and ancient houses. You will pass the Grote Kerk and the Waaggebouw. On the Hoornse Vaart you will pass four monumental ironing mills from 1630. To the right is the Oudorperhout, a unique meadow area in the middle of the city. In Groet you pass the famous White Church from 1639.
