Self-guided cycling route

Waterland Loop

• 32 km
• ~half day
• moderate
• Start: Centraal Station (IJplein ferry)

For confident riders: ferry across to Noord, then head into the Waterland polders — the tiny dyke villages of Durgerdam, Holysloot, Ransdorp and Zunderdorp, with cows, windmills and huge skies, optionally as far as Monnickendam. The Netherlands you came to see, minutes from the city.
