Best routes
Holland has an impressive network of bike paths and cycle lanes. Plotting routes is based on our expertise of the local Dutch geography, landscapes and the unique cycling infrastructure.
• Attractive – Self-guided routes are set out as beautifully and as varied as possible; our route manager knows every scenic stretch and hidden gem. This of course means that the emphasis lies on the most scenic, and therefore not the shortest routes. During guided tours our guide(s) of course know the best routes and you will have ample opportunity to spend time at the scenic highlights.
• Safe – The routes follow as many bicycle paths as possible. Special attention is given to traffic density and the quality of few roads where you have to share roads with motorized traffic. For more information visit our blog about the cycling infrastructure here, and about our rules and regulations here.
• Balanced – Our aim is to equalize your cycling efforts each day, but this also depends on the accommodation locations. This means that the daily routes are as balanced as possible, although you do not cycle exactly the same distance every day.
• Recreational versus road bike – We distinguish between recreational cycling routes and road bike routes. Our focus on the recreational and e-bike routes is on the smaller back roads and narrower paths. For the (faster) road bike routes the emphasis is on smooth road surfaces, wider paths/roads with fewer bends and curves and less recreational cycling traffic.
