Paseo rápido en bici de Egmond aan Zee a Alkmaar

Set off from the breezy North Sea shores of Egmond aan Zee, a cozy seaside village known for its wide beaches and iconic lighthouse. From there, this 11 km ride whisks you inland towards the historic city of Alkmaar, famous for its traditional cheese market and lovely canals.

Most of the route is on dedicated cycleways, so you’re in for a relaxing pedal with little traffic to worry about. You’ll wheel through a tapestry of classic Dutch scenery—think grassy fields, tidy farmhouses, and the occasional windmill. The path is largely paved smooth, but pack your puncture kit just in case since some stretches are paving stones or a little rougher.

Elevation is minimal (hello, Netherlands!), so this is an easygoing ride for all levels. Once you roll into Alkmaar, park your bike and wander the charming old town, maybe even sample some world-famous cheese. Perfect for a half-day adventure!
