Cycling in and around Bergen aan Zee

Bergen aan Zee sits between two large dune areas, so you are riding through dunes and woodland as soon as you leave the village.

• 17th-century woodland: via Bergen you cycle to the Bergerbos, a shady route on warm days.
• High dunes to the north: the Schoorlse Duinen are the widest and highest dune area in the Netherlands and easy to explore by bike.
• Dune reserve to the south: towards Egmond aan Zee you ride through the Noordhollands Duinreservaat.
• Hire and routes: rent a bike from the bike rental shops and find the cycling routes and nature reserves below.
• Prefer to walk? Take a look at the walking routes or end your ride on the beach.

Bicycle hire

On a rented bike you quickly reach Schoorl Dunes Visitor Centre in Schoorl from Bergen aan Zee, a good starting point for a ride through the dunes.
