Description

The Donkere Duinen nature reserve was formed from the remains of an old Wadden island that grew on the mainland in the sixteenth century through drifting sand. In the polders you then cycle for many kilometers past bulb fields. What colours! Via the Liniedijk you cycle to two fortresses from the Defense Line of Den Helder, which was expanded in the early 1800s by order of Napoleon. First you pass Fort Dirksz. Admiral, further on you will pass Fort Erfprins: the largest fort in the Netherlands in terms of surface area. A little later you cycle through the dunes, where you enjoy the silence. In the distance you can already see Lange Jaap, with its almost 64 meters it is the highest cast iron lighthouse in Europe.
