The Route

Road route ⟳128km ⇗180m

Road+Gravel route ⟳132km ⇗180m   

The greatest circle around Amsterdam. - Enjoy North Holland's beauty and ride around historic villages, the dune reserve, tulip fields, the Alkmaar Cheese Market, Markermeer lake, and Volendam from the heart of Amsterdam.

An iconic loop, hand-plotted to perfection into a super fun, bike-friendly route full of beautiful highlights — and a unique circle on the map. 🚴‍♂️✨

To put this rondo on the map, you make an impressive loop through North Holland. Along the way, you pass various historical highlights, including the world-famous canals of Amsterdam and the legendary Munnikenweg in Alkmaar.

The route goes through the heart of Amsterdam, crosses the IJ with the Buiksloterweg ferry, and passes by the Central Station. However, you only encounter one traffic light throughout Amsterdam, thanks to a bike-friendly route through the green corridor of Westerpark and Lange Bretten.

After a pleasant crossing of the North Sea Canal with the Velserpont, you exchange the urban area for the serene tranquility of the North Holland Dune Reserve, expansive polders, and characteristic North Holland villages and towns. After about 127km on the pedals, you return to the starting point. The circle is complete!

Narrow tires? That works perfectly! The route is entirely on paved roads, with a fun gravel segment after 80km that is definitely suitable for a racing bike in dry weather, which you can also skip if you prefer.

Gravel bike? There is an alternative route with a few fun shortcuts and gravel paths, about 20km different. Still mostly paved roads, but a nice change for once.

What is the recommended riding direction?

Self-guided adventure
This route is designed to be cycled counterclockwise. This is the most beautiful route, with its climbs and views, and the most practical, as there are fewer pedestrian crossings and traffic lights.

Starting from Antwerp, it's recommended to cycle counterclockwise and take the bicycle bus first due to work on the Lillo Bridge in Antwerp.

If you still want to cycle clockwise, take the loop at the Molenberg the other way around.

What to expect on the route?

PWN dune area = To access the dune area at your own convenience, you need to purchase a PWN dune card (day card is €2): pwn.nl/buydunecard

During events, we have arranged that you do not need to buy a dune card.
