Cycling around the North Holland North Sea coast

You start this varied cycling day at Grand Cafe Plein in Petten. Then you cycle through the Pettemerduinen to Callantsoog, the seaside resort that was once an island. Here you will pass, among other things, the Reformed Church from 1580, a beautiful sight! You drive through the dunes to Julianadorp, after which you cycle along the Noordhollandsch Kanaal and the bulb fields. The last part of the route takes you through the Zijpe and Hazepolder, an area where the raised bog was reclaimed between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries with a straight plot pattern. Here you pass characteristic bell-shaped farms, polder mills and two old raft bridges. You will also pass through Mennonietenbuurt, a settlement founded by Mennonites in the eighteenth century. You make a pit stop at Restaurant de Watersnip, after which you drive back to Petten.
