Julianadorp Dunes

Highlight • Cycleway

The dune area at Julianadorp is an absolute highlight. Access is via the beach entrance "Paal 6". Especially the dune road from Callantsoog to Den Helder is recommended to explore by bicycle. But a walk through the dunes is also an experience.

Dune Path Den Helder–Callantsoog

Highlight • Cycleway

One of the few sections of cycle path that runs away from the road and therefore no noise is audible. Highly recommended as a change from the other cycle paths.

Lange Jaap Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The Lange Jaap can be seen from a great distance and is therefore a good orientation aid for tours in the area.
At a height of 63.45 meters, the Lange Jaap was the highest lighthouse in the Netherlands for a long time before it was replaced by the new Maasvlakte lighthouse. The Lange Jaap is still the highest cast-iron lighthouse in Europe. Construction of the tower began in 1877 and it was put into operation on April 1, 1878. The lighthouse has a hexagonal basic shape and consists of cast-iron plates bolted together with a total weight of 506,100 kilograms. The architect of the tower was Quirinus Harder. The "Lange Jaap" has been a listed building since 1988.

The northern cycle path around Den Helder is not necessarily beautiful, but wonderful to cycle on.

From Julianadorp Ann Zee, always on the cycle path in the dunes over the Donkeren Duinen to Den Helder to the ferry port to Texel and back again. Beautiful tour with a constant headwind in one direction. 😅.

It's been a long time since I've ridden on such great cycle paths as today. Great. Smooth, asphalt or paved, wide enough and very well signposted. That's the way it should be - exemplary. Even Denmark can't keep up.
The weather also played along today. Sunshine, little wind, dry. Ideal for just cycling through the area and exploring everything. I …
