Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Harenkarspel à Egmond aan Zee

This scenic cycling route starts in the peaceful village of Harenkarspel, nestled in the flat, green lands of North Holland. You’ll enjoy a relaxed ride, mostly along dedicated cycleways, making up about 86% of your route — so plenty of space to just cruise and soak up the views. The landscape here is classic Dutch: think open fields, small waterways, and a big, endless sky. With only gentle climbs (maximum elevation just under 16 meters), this ride keeps things easy on the legs.

As you head south-west, the route takes you toward the North Sea dunes. Your journey finishes in Egmond aan Zee, a charming seaside town famous for its broad sandy beach, lighthouse, and laid-back vibe. It’s perfect for a post-ride stroll on the sand or grabbing a coffee at a beachfront café.

In total, you’ll cover just under 26 km—ideal for a breezy morning or afternoon ride. Don’t forget to bring your camera for the changing landscapes, and maybe your swimsuit for that refreshing dip at the finish!
