Get away from it all and enjoy the fresh sea air. During this varied cycling holiday, you will discover the very best of North Holland: from wide sandy beaches and rolling dunes to charming harbour towns and typical Dutch villages. A perfect combination of nature, tranquillity and character.

Your journey starts in Volendam (Katwoude), on the shores of the IJsselmeer. From here, you cycle through the water-rich region of Laag-Holland towards Heemskerk. Along the way, you pass the iconic Zaanse Schans, where historic windmills and traditional houses bring the Dutch landscape to life.

As you approach the coast, the scenery changes into vast dune landscapes and lively seaside resorts, leading you towards Callantsoog and beyond. Nature, cosy terraces and charming villages alternate effortlessly. The route towards Enkhuizen takes you via the picturesque town of Medemblik, a characteristic harbour town with a rich history on the IJsselmeer.

Each day offers a new stage and a different environment. You stay overnight in a new location every day, allowing you to truly experience the region. The routes follow the Dutch cycling junction network and guide you along beautiful, well-maintained cycle paths.

From Callantsoog, you have the option to extend your stay with an extra night and take a day trip to Texel. Take the ferry and explore this versatile Wadden Island, known for its wide-open nature, charming villages and unique landscapes.

After an active day, you can fully relax in comfortable hotels. A generous breakfast awaits you each morning, so you can start your day full of energy.

In short: a diverse cycling holiday along the coast, dunes and characteristic landscapes of North Holland.
