Cycle Route: Den Helder to Alkmaar
Ready for a lovely ride through the heart of North Holland? Set off from Den Helder, the maritime gateway at the very tip of the province, famous for its naval base and the ferry to Texel. The route to Alkmaar covers about 52 kilometers—mainly on smooth cycleways—with just a gentle 100 meters of climbing, so it’s perfect for an easy-going day in the saddle.
You’ll cruise past classic Dutch scenery: polder landscapes, tidy canals, and wide-open skies. There’s plenty of paved and asphalt paths, with most of your journey separated from traffic, making it safe and pleasant. Expect some stretches along pretty dykes and quiet roads through charming little towns.
The ride ends in Alkmaar, a city best known for its historic cheese market (say cheese!), vibrant terraces, and beautiful old town. If you’re up for it, grab a bite or stroll by the canals before you head home. All in all, a flat, scenic, and quintessentially Dutch ride!
