Description

This bike tour takes you through the outskirts of Oterleek.

Schermer polder
In Oterleek you can already see the first sight: Molen de Oterleek, an octagonal flour mill from 1900. The mill rotates and grinds regularly. Further on is the Ambachtsmolen, a polder mill from 1632. On the Hoornse Vaart you will pass four monumental ironing mills from 1630. To the left you look out over the Oudorperhout, a unique meadow area in the middle of the city. From Alkmaar you drive through the Schermerpolder. In Zuidschermer you can admire the Zwarte Kerkje from 1665, one of the few remaining stolp churches.

Fort
After driving along the western part of the Eilandspolder, you cycle along the flowery banks of the Markervaart. On the left you see the ramparts of Fort Marken-Binnen. Just before junction 89 you have a beautiful view over the beginning of the river De Zaan. Further on you can see the ramparts of Fort Spijkerboor in the landscape. To the right of the dike you look out over the Beemsterpolder. Just after Rustenburg you pass three old ironing mills. A beautiful Dutch picture!
