Hike and biketrails

Cycle or walk along the straight lines of the reclaimed land of the Beemster or meander through the peat meadowlands. Enjoy the picturesque fishing villages like Marken, Edam and Volendam and soak up endless vistas with the contours of the narrow church towers and mills etched onto the horizon. Listen to the birds chirp and bees buzz and moo along with the cows. No one will hear you. Catch your breath at one of the many tea gardens. Oh, it is so beautiful here...

You cycle the biketrails in most cases with the help of the so-called junction system. A junction is a uniquely numbered spot where two cycle paths cross each other. The trails are set out on the basis of these numbers. The only thing you have to do is follow the numbers in the sequence in which they are presented. You can recognise the junctions by the green and white signs along the way.
