Tree Walks in Alkmaar

Alkmaar has one walk that string its ancient trees together on foot, past 5 trees in all. Each one is an afternoon rather than a hike, and every tree on it has a story worth the stop.

The order is ours, worked out from where the trees actually stand; the walking distance is the real one along streets and paths where we have been able to route it, and a straight line between trunks where we have not. Nothing here is a signposted trail.

All of these stand in Alkmaar, where we map 7 remarkable trees in total. Or walk somewhere else: Alicante · Amersfoort · Amsterdam · Arnhem · Assen · Athens
