Fietsen durch das Herz Hollands | Teil 2 | Leiden, Haarlem, Alkmaar, Zaandam

In part two of our five-day cycling tour, we continue through the heart of Holland: from Scheveningen, past verdant estates, Leiden, polder landscapes, windmill routes, and Schiphol Airport, to Haarlem, IJmuiden, Alkmaar, the Zaanse Schans, and finally Amsterdam-Noord. We can expect tailwinds, breaks in the rain with sea views, cycle paths under runways, Amsterdam's charming neighbor, a short boat trip, beach pavilions, heavenly cycle paths, and of course, plenty of cheese: from the famous cheese market in Alkmaar to the windmills and green wooden houses of the Zaanse Schans. After five stages, our tour concludes with a free ferry ride to Amsterdam Central Station – and with 284 leisurely, varied, and surprisingly diverse kilometers through the heart of Holland. 🚲 Stage 3: Scheveningen → Badhoevedorp (67 km) 🚲 Stage 4: Badhoevedorp → Alkmaar (65 km) 🚲 Stage 5: Alkmaar → Amsterdam-Noord (49 km) Links to the route, address list, and junction list can be found here: http://www.mitdemrad.com/Niederlande/...
