welcome

Welcome in "tripartite" Egmond. Carefree drifting about the pure waters, the rustling of the overwhelming sea, the salty smell...Not a thing reminds of the village, which once for the largest part disappeared from the coastline. Sinking up to your ankles in the moist sand with a tightly stretched fisihing-line. Yes, you still can do some fishing in Egmond aan Zee, once a fishing village...


.... In the evening your own catch on the dining-table....a red-letter moment!Or- a cycling tour through the richly overgrown dune-area with its ravishing beauty. Along bulb-fields and endless views to the well-known monastery in Egmond-Binnen, the very place where once upon a time the first book in the Dutch language came into being. On the horizon the contours of Alkmaar with the St. Laurence Church as a beacon.What about the renowned past of the castle near Egmond aan den Hoef, of which the fundaments are still to be admired. With its former inhabitants, related to both the English and the Dutch royal family.
