With the sea so close, there are also plenty of opportunities for sailing, surfing or kite surfing. Walcheren not only offers beaches and nature but also charming villages and cities with a rich history and atmospheric streets with historic buildings to admire. Visit Middelburg or Veere.

Day 10-11-12 Egmond aan Zee - Alkmaar

We travel to our "last" destination on the coast, but the journey isn't over yet! There are some high dunes, but otherwise, the surroundings of Egmond are almost flat. Therefore, find one of the viewpoints and enjoy the view, look for Torensduin, Uitkijktoren Egmond aan Zee, or the Bleek. Visit the abbey, the brewery or even the Alpaca farm. If you can't get enough, relax another day at the beach. Alkmaar is known for its traditional cheese market, which can be visited from April to September at the historic Waagplein.

In addition, you can enjoy numerous monuments, canals, shops, museums and terraces in the beautiful historic center of Alkmaar.;

Day 13 Castle de Haar

For example, visit the largest castle in the Netherlands on the route south; Castle de Haar. You can take a tour of the castle, but you can also visit the beautiful gardens or the park.
