This route takes you back in time, through picturesque landscapes along water, past forts and meadows, over winding dikes and old bridges. In the past, the Oer-IJ flowed here, a branch of the Rhine that emptied into the sea at Castricum. When it was closed off, a large peat bog formed. To make the land suitable for arable farming and livestock breeding, ditches were dug and dikes were built.

Cycle 27 km through the largest peat meadow area in Western Europe. Spot black-tailed godwits, lapwings, and redshanks. Start and end at Tramplein bus station in Purmerend.
