Cycling through history and nature
Explore Den Helder by bike and enjoy a route steeped in history and nature. Begin your journey along the impressive forts and bunkers of the Liniedijk. Stop at unique landmarks, such as the 110-year-old water tower. Discover Willemsoord, a unique and monumental shipyard complex that will transport you back in time.

The Den Helder hinterland awaits you
From Willemsoord, cycle towards the hinterland. A 5-kilometer promenade leads you to Fort Kijkduin, a historic landmark. Afterward, follow Grafelijkheidsweg. Take a moment to enjoy the grazing Scottish Highlanders – a beautiful sight not to be missed.

Enjoy nature and tranquility
The route continues through the dunes and past the refuge, an area where sports fields have been transformed into new nature. Cycle through tranquil landscapes and admire the rich flora and fauna. This is Den Helder at its best: a combination of culture, history, and breathtaking nature.
