From Maassluis to Maasland

Wonderful tour through the dunes and the beautiful Westland. Stop along the way in the old Maassluis and Maasland!

Sand Motor Monster
You will start today in cozy Kijkduin. From here you cycle right along the coast to Monster, right through the dunes. You are immediately assured of a holiday feeling! In the sea you sometimes see the sand motor, which is intended to ensure that the beaches here become wider and do not become calved.

Maassluis
Maassluis was founded around 1340 as a small settlement, which mainly lived off fishing. In the nineteenth century, Maassluis became world famous for a towage company and the activities on the water expanded to, for example, ship storage. The National Towage Museum can still be found in the town, but a company has also established itself here that has been providing information services in and around the port of Rotterdam since 1872. You cycle back via Maasland, a picturesque mining village that is centuries old.
