During this cycle route you can go full steam ahead between Hoofddorp and Halfweg on the Polderbaanpad along Schiphol. Discover how the Dutch have benefited from steam at the historic steam pumping stations of Halfweg and Cruquius. The rest of this route takes you through the green polders to the picturesque village of Spaarndam and alongside the waters of the Mooi Nel to Haarlemmerliede, Penningsveer and the outskirts of Haarlem. You could blow off some steam and relax at the Schoteroog and Spaarnwoude Recreation Areas, the Toolenburgerplas and the Molenplaspark. Don't forget to refuel with a snack and a drink at Brasserie Het Gemaal in Halfweg and at Restaurant Long Island in Hoofddorp; the perfect places to start, have a break or finish your cycling route.
