You start this varied cycling day at Grand Cafe Plein in Petten. You then cycle through the Pettemerduinen to Callantsoog, the seaside resort that was once an island. Here you pass the Reformed Church from 1580, a picture! 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 Haze Polder, an area where the high moors were reclaimed between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries with a perfectly straight plot pattern. Here you pass characteristic farmhouses, polder windmills and two old raft bridges. You will also pass through Mennonietenbuurt, a settlement founded by Mennonites in the eighteenth century. At Restaurant de Watersnip you make a pit stop, after which you drive back to Petten.
