Tour of the dunes, Bergen and Alkmaar

From Schoorl, you drive at a leisurely pace to Bergen. In this artists' village, you will see many beautiful, stately buildings. You will also pass the Ruïnekerk (Ruined Church). It burned down during the Eighty Years' War but was partially rebuilt afterwards. Alkmaar is known for its cheese, but you can also experience a unique historical atmosphere there. Cycling along the canals, you will see many monumental buildings, such as De Waag, which was completed in 1603. The famous cheese market is held here in the summer. You drive through the vast polders to the dunes, where you can enjoy the peace and varied natural beauty. You pass through the seaside resort of Bergen aan Zee. Here you can dip your toes in the water before driving into the Schoorl Dunes.
