Cycling through the Dutch lowlands

You drive through the Dutch lowlands between Purmerend, Zaandam and Wormerveer. Refuel while you cycle over dikes and car-free roads along meadows and canals. You will also discover beautiful old villages.

Zaanse Schans
You haven't warmed up your legs yet and you actually have to get off again. After all, that is the best way to absorb all the impressions in the monumental Zaanse Schans. You will see some special museums here, so plan plenty of time for this route. You then drive along the banks of the Zaan and later the Markervaart through a series of old houses and polders. How beautiful Holland is!

Oostzanerveld
West-Graftdijk is a picturesque village, the Reformed Church dates from 1651. You pass Europarcs Resort de Rijp, a beautiful holiday park with a good restaurant. In Graft and De Rijp you will be amazed again, you will see centuries-old wooden houses in Zaanse style. You can enjoy the silence in the Oostzanerveld. Here you pass the Paterspoel with the Suzanna Sluis, a place where a farmer eliminated several heavily armed Spanish soldiers during the Eighty Years' War.
