Coastal route via The Hague
The Hague, Scheveningen, Monster
Although Amsterdam is officially our country's capital, The Hague actually fulfils that role much more: it is where the heart of Dutch politics can be found, international law courts and most embassies. The medieval city has always been an important place for rulers. In fact, its name comes from Des Graven Haage, the counts of the hage. The Hague most likely referred to 'the forest' of the Count of Holland. The Hague is also the scene of the execution of Johan de Witt, important politician of the 17th century. At Buitenhof and a stone's throw from the Gevangenenpoort, you will now find a statue, pointing two fingers to the exact spot of his beheading. There is plenty to see in the city, but during this route you also cycle a large part along the North Sea. Beautiful views and cosy boulevards alternate. Cycling over the dunes, you will have views of the sea, the beach and even The Hague. The route takes you past famous Scheveningen, where you can take a break to enjoy the pier and bustling beach life. Further along the coast you'll come to Kijkduin, a quieter area with beautiful dunes and wide beaches, perfect for a relaxing stopover. This region, the Westland, is home to archaeological finds that predate the Roman era. Around the beginning of the era, this area was plagued by floods. The constantly rising water created gullies in the land that moved with the tide of the sea. When these silted up, the area became habitable, although it later flooded again. Today, Westland is famous for its vast greenhouses and thriving horticultural industry.
