This route leads you along the Geestmerambacht nature reserve and the beautiful polders of North Holland. The route starts at Hortus Alkmaar on the Beverkoog business park. Step inside the Hortus, an oasis of nature of more than 2 hectares with up to 800 species of medicinal plants. Enjoy the rock garden, the vegetable garden, the dune garden, the botanical forest, the American forest, the special pond and if you are lucky, 'our' kingfishers. A nice drink with a snack on our attractive terrace is also highly recommended. Turn right next to the old VSM headquarters onto the cycle path and drive along the back road into Sint Pancras. Cycle through the Geestmerambacht Nature Reserve. If you haven't had enough of our beautiful North Holland yet, we can advise you Camping de Kolibrie. Lovely friendly campsite with all possibilities in the middle of the Dutch Polder landscape.
