Let your hair blow in the salty wind — this route starts in Egmond aan Zee, where you cycle past the Vuurtoren van Van Speijk (the hero who blew up his ship… yes, a bit dramatic, but a great story!). Through the North Holland Dunes to the Alkmaardermeer, where polders gleam green and bulb fields burst with color. In Heiloo? Stop at the Runxputte — a atmospheric pilgrimage site with holy water and a tiny church that calms your soul. Then? Back past the castle ruins of Egmond aan den Hoef — where in 1573 the castle was destroyed… by the storm of history.

If you want to cycle over the junctions, without a digital application, start at:
