Description

This bike tour takes you through the Land of Leeghwater, former lakes, interspersed with old fishing villages.

The route leads along the west side of the Eilandspolder, through the Mijzen Polder and along the ring canal of the Beemster World Heritage Site. Peace, space and endless views are interspersed with villages such as Graft, Noordeinde, Schermerhorn and the Middenbeemster. The Beemster is not a Unesco World Heritage for nothing. It is a special landscape of straight lines and geometric patterns. You must have seen that with your own eyes. Along the way you will also come across a number of beautiful windmills. They provide the typical Dutch picture.
