Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Schagen do Alkmaar

Leave behind the charming town of Schagen, known for its historic town center and weekly West Frisian market, and set off on a relaxing ride to Alkmaar, the legendary cheese capital of the Netherlands. The route is just under 25 km and mostly flat, making it perfect for a laid-back day on two wheels.

You’ll pedal mainly along peaceful cycleways and quiet country roads, surrounded by classic Dutch landscapes—think wide-open fields, grazing cows, and the occasional windmill. Most of the way is paved, although there are stretches where the surface might be a bit more rustic or bumpy, so keep that in mind when picking your bike.

After about an hour and a half (give or take), you'll roll into Alkmaar, famous for its cheese market, beautiful canals, and vibrant cafe scene. It’s the ideal spot to treat yourself to a local cheese tasting and soak up the lively atmosphere before heading home or exploring more.

Enjoy the fresh air and quintessential Dutch countryside on this easygoing ride from market town to cheese city!
