It has been four centuries since this polder was drained using windmills. Cycle past interesting spots, read the stories, and the Purmer comes to life. Two cycling routes have been mapped out, through the north and the south of the polder.
The starting and ending point of both routes is the intersection of Purmerenderweg and Westerweg in Purmerend, so you can also combine both routes. This cycle route takes you along the northern part of the Purmer. The route can be found digitally at waterlandopdekaart.nl or by scanning this QR code. The routes were created by the Waterlands Archief with the cooperation of the Hollands Noorderkwartier Water Board.
