Mountain biking along the track

Around Circuit Zandvoort is Zandvoort’s mountain bike track. From the entrance at the old Slotemakers sliproad, you ride around 10 kilometres along the challenging course. Steep descents and climbs and the longest Laarwall in the Netherlands. Really something for advanced mountain bikers.

The cycle path between Zandvoort and Noordwijk runs straight through the rolling dune landscape, after which you can cycle back through the bulb-growing region. Or challenge yourself and cycle over the Kopje van Bloemendaal: 1.5km long, 45 altimeters with wonderfully steep climbs.
