Mill and ferry route – Kagerplassen

Hop on your bike and discover the watery hinterland of Noordwijk with the Molens en Pontjes-Route Kagerplassen. This tour takes you along winding canals, green polders, and picturesque views. This authentic Dutch experience is bursting with tranquility, space, and history.

Along the way, you'll encounter more than ten authentic windmills, each with its own character and story. One of the highlights is the iconic Lijkermolen, beautifully situated on the water. And what makes this route extra special? The crossings with small ferries, such as the Sweilandveer and the ferry across the Zijl.

You'll cycle through the Zwanburgerpolder and along the Leidsevaart, where charming cycle paths lead you between meadows and waterways. Here you'll hear frogs croaking, see herons taking flight, and feel what it's like to leave the hustle and bustle of life behind.

This route is an ode to the Dutch landscape and perfect for a day of discovery and wonder. Don't forget your picnic – or settle down at one of the local cafes along the water.
