Cycling tour along the North Holland North Sea coast

This varied cycling day begins at Grand Café Plein in Petten. Then, cycle through the Pettemer dunes to Callantsoog, a seaside resort that was once an island. You'll pass the Reformed Church from 1580, a picturesque sight! Through the dunes, you'll cycle to Julianadorp, after which you'll cycle along the North Holland Canal and the bulb fields. The final section of the route takes you through the Zijpe and Hazepolder, an area where the raised bog was reclaimed between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries using a perfectly straight plot pattern. You'll pass characteristic farmhouses, polder mills, and two old pontoon bridges. You'll also pass through the Mennonietenbuurt, a settlement founded by Mennonites in the eighteenth century. You'll make a pit stop at Restaurant de Watersnip before returning to Petten.
