The Waterland region has everything to make your cyclist's heart beat faster. You will find peace, space and a unique cultural history, such as in Monnickendam and Volendam.

Edam
The route starts at Café De Drie Zwanen. First grab a cozy terrace here before cycling through the Ilperveld, a vast brackish peat meadow area with countless ditches and reed beds. On the edge of Purmerend you drive along the Purmerbos, an exception in this vast polder landscape. In the Purmerpolder you pass Farm Leeuwendaal, a former pleasure garden of an Amsterdam merchant where you can now stay. You cycle through Edam and Volendam: two characteristic towns full of sights.

Monnickendam
On the dike is the Kathammer Molen, a polder mill from 1650. Further on you pass Monnickendam, another beautiful old town where you can admire many monumental buildings. What a special historical atmosphere! Can't get enough of this? That's a good thing, because time seems to have stood still a bit in Zuiderwoud and Broek in Waterland as well. How beautiful the Waterland is!

Sights

De Katwoudermolen

Kathammer
B-1145 Waterland

The Katwoudermolen drains the polder Katwoude-Hogendijk and a meadow area to the north of the Zeddeweg. The mill is located near the southern edge of Volendam. The first windmill for the Katwoude polder was built in 1649 and opened around 1650. A heavy inland barber that discharged into the Zuiderzee via a drainage sluice. By digging the barge canal from Edam to Monnickendam in 1663, the 689 hectare polder Katwoude was divided in two. The eastern part, Hogedijk, was drained by the old paddlewheel mill with a radius of 26.15 m and a paddle wheel with a diameter of 6.14 m and a width of 38 cm. For Lagendijk, the separated western part of 139 ha, a new paddle wheel mill was built in 1665 on the canal with a radius of 19.75 m.
