Google Maps has a cycling mode and follows cycle paths. With the GPX file you can also load the route into a cycling app or bike computer.
About this route
From the marina to the North Sea. You cycle to Sint Maartenszee, where the beach and dunes begin, and then past the Zwanenwater to Callantsoog. The Zwanenwater is a dune area with two lakes, heath and lots of birds, managed by Natuurmonumenten. Park your bike and walk for a while: that is the best way to see it.
Good to know
- Bring your swimming things in summer: the beaches are about 10 kilometres from the marina.
- The Zwanenwater has rules for dogs and bikes. Check the signs at the entrance.
- Stick to the cycle paths: the dunes are fragile.
