Bicycle junctions
With an extensive network of bicycle routes and junctions, the Enkhuizen area is a great area to explore by bicycle. On the basis of the junctions you can easily put together your own route. You can do this en route using the signs for junctions or using a cycling map which shows all these junctions.

Route.nl
You can of course go to the VVV (tourist information office) for ready-made cycling routes, but you can also print and download routes through the website of route.nl (the largest route site in the Netherlands and Belgium).

Westfriesland seems to have been created especially for a bicycle tour! You will find peace, space, old towns and vistas across the water.

How about, for example, the Much Beautiful Westfriesland route of 53.6 kilometers starting at the VVV Enkhuizen?

Or the route Biking through the West Frisian Landscape of 56.1 kilometers, also starting and ending in Enkhuizen?

The route Een dagje Westfriesland is 44.43 kilometers long and starts just below Medemblik and takes you through Enkhuizen and its surroundings.

The Westfriese Omringdijk

This bicycle route in the Westfriese Omringdijk is a whopping 143 km long and can be completed in about 10 hours. It is recommended that you make it a multi-day bike tour, so you have plenty of time to visit sights along the way. The route takes you through cities such as Hoorn, Alkmaar, Schagen and Medemblik. You can follow the route using bicycle junctions.

LF Zuiderzee Route

The former Zuiderzee Route has been upgraded and turned into an LF iconic route. This ’round IJsselmeer’ leads you through a rich history of a changed landscape. During the 440 kilometer long route you will pass through vast polder landscapes with farms with thatched roofs, but you will also visit medieval trading towns, the former island of Schokland and many fishing villages full of character.

Experience The Golden Age in Enkhuizen

The Golden Age is almost nowhere as tangible as in the old port town of Enkhuizen. Discover the beautiful monuments and enjoy this bicycle route with a golden edge! A total of 18 icons from the Golden Age can be found in the region. These icons can also be recognized by the gold coins in the pavement. You will find them under the stepping stones at this bicycle route.

Fiets4daagse Hoorn
An ideal event for exploring Westfriesland by bicycle is the Fiets4daagse Hoorn. This annual event for both experienced and novice cyclists offers a very varied program each year.
