Noordwijk: Beach and Dunes Bike Tour

Discover this unique landscape in the Netherlands by bike. Start off your tour in Noordwijkerhout on one of the most beautiful squares in the area. Cycle along a lake to the beautiful dunes and enjoy the view over the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen, where the city of Amsterdam gets the drinking water. See a glider aerodrome that is very active at the weekends.  Stop at Nederzandt, a lovely beach club near the sandy beach. Taste real dutch apple pie with coffee or tea. After this break, cycle through the dunes and woods which are part of the National Park "de Hollandse Duinen". Take in the beautiful landscapes and with some luck, you might see rabbits, a deer or a fox.  Most of the cycle paths are paved, so your bike tour will not be too hard. After a nice tour in nature, you cycle along the Atlantic Wall museum in Noordwijk. In this lovely place at the beach, you have some spare time (about an hour) to visit the beach, the shops or one of the beach clubs. Take a walk on the boulevard with beautiful hotels and terraces and eat some fish at the fish seller on the boulevard. Head back to Noordwijkerhout after this break and cycle through the country lanes of the Bollenstreek. In spring there are many tulips and daffodils blooming here. In late summer there are dahlias or gladiolus blooming.  Back in Noordwijkerhout, you will hand off your bike at the bike rental.
