Bergen, Egmond aan Zee, Egmond aan den Hoef, Egmond-Binnen and Schoorl are villages in North Holland. These villages were merged after the merger in the year 2001 and now fall under the name Municipality of Bergen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Bergen as a municipality is the largest town in the region and an important tourist center, with many stores, restaurants and recreational opportunities and an 18 km coastline.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Egmond aan Zee is best known for its beautiful beaches, dunes, and historic Fisherman’s Day. Egmond aan den Hoef is best known for its beautiful nature, historic castle and the cheese-cover farmhouses characteristic of the North Holland landscape. Egmond-Binnen is best known for its oldest abbey in the Netherlands, St. Adelbertus Abbey, and its colorful bulb fields in the spring.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The dune village of Schoorl has been known as a tourist village since the end of the nineteenth century. Cottages were built in many backyards as early as the early 20th century for summer rentals, and today there are several vacation parks and hotels.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/egmondonline.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Bergen-nh_wapen-300×212.png” title_text=”Bergen-nh_arm” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/3LKVuP6Zurw” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”15px||11px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font_size=”26px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n During the winter months, I would personally recommend visiting Egmond-Binnen to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the rich history of Egmond Abbey. Also, during the winter months there are often cozy Christmas markets in the area where you can enjoy the fun and tasty snacks and drinks.

Its beautiful location on forest and dunes, close to the sea gives Bergen an almost mystical aura. So do the many artists who have lived here for years. The light, space and leafy avenues still inspire them to create many beautiful things.<\/p>\n Around the eye-catching Ruined Church you will find plenty of boutiques, terraces and welcoming restaurants. And around the corner you can bike and walk right into the dune reserve.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The North Sea coast around Egmond offers you plenty of variety. The landscape is a distinctly coastal one with lots of sea, beach and dunes. Behind the line of dunes you will find plenty of bulb fields and polders.<\/p>\n Egmond is located in a coastal area which extends from Wijk aan Zee to Camperduin. In between you will find a particularly beautiful dune area. Both by bike and also walking you can spend very pleasant hours here. Near Castricum (about 8 kilometers from Egmond is the visitor center “de Hoep”. Here the PWN provides an overview of dune management, flora and fauna of the area and water extraction.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Three Egmonds<\/h2>\n
