Aagtenpark
Looking towards Beverwijk, you can see the area where vikings chased a young girl in the 9th century.
When she fell down and prayed to Saint Agatha, the earth began to tremble and a flash of light appeared, driving away the vikings. Many places in Beverwijk are named after the saint, including Aagtenpark. The park (located on the edge of the Wijkerbroekpolder) is still under development, but you can already enjoy a walk or bike ride on its flowering hills.
Note: Follow the cycle path out of the park via the bridge over the A22. Then take the first left (Toon Hermanslaan), turn right at the end (Conny Stuartlaan), then take the first left (Wim Kanlaan) and immediately turn left again onto the cycle path (stay on this side of road (De Meerlanden). Pass under the A22 motorway and after the Aagtenpark, immediately turn left again onto the Sint Aagtendijk and continue towards junction 6.

After junction 6, go off the junction network again for a bit. Now follow a bit to junction 40 and take the first road on the right (Waterlinie) and then the first road on the left into the meadow to the lock gates of Rorik Estate.
