Tour of Alkmaar, Heiloo and the North Holland Dune Reserve

From Bergen aan Zee you can explore the North Holland Dune Reserve. Enjoy the fresh air and the peace and quiet. Then you cycle to Alkmaar. You will see many monumental buildings in the city center. On the edge of the Heilooërbos you will pass the Pulpit Rock, an old moraine. According to tradition, the monk Willibrordus preached here centuries ago to spread Christianity. Further on you pass through Limmen and take a tour through the polders around Castricum. You drive through the North Holland Dune Reserve again, after which you arrive in Egmond aan den Hoef.
