North-Hollandpad | Stage 10

(15 km)

The North-Holland path is 284 km long and is divided into 16 stages. Stage 10 takes you from Schermerhorn to Akersloot through the Land of Leeghwater. It is a short but varied walk. Discover it soon and head out!

This varied stage is 15 kilometres. You walk through the Land of Leeghwater and the reclaimed land reclamation areas of De Schermer and De Beemster, both reclaimed in the Golden Age. Characteristic features of De Schermer and De Beemster are the geometric layout of the roads and ditches and the cheese-cover farmhouses with their pyramid roofs and square farmyards. De Beemster was declared a Unesco World Heritage Site for this in 1999 and in De Schermer, the eleven centuries-old windmills still define the landscape. One of the mills is now a museum. During the breeding season, part of the stage is closed to walkers. Alternative routes are listed in the route descriptions.

*Breeding season variant (15 Mar.-15 June) 19 - 44 - 32 - 43.

For more information and a detailed description of the routes, visit the North-Holland path website. Would you also like to walk stage 11? Then go to the walking route and set off!

Extra fun!

As of 10 April, it will be possible to digitally stamp your trek on your online stamp card after hiking one of the 16 stages of the Noord-Hollandpad. This makes it easy to keep track of which parts of the path you have already walked and how you are progressing on the route through North Holland.

Keep an eye on the Noord-Hollandpad website, Facebook and Instagram to see when you can start walking and stamping.
