Southern Route Relaxed - Bike/Barge Combo
The route of this tour is the same as the regular Southern route, but bicycling is all from and to the same location and optional. You go always by barge to the next town and bike in the morning or afternoon a round trip route from and to the same location. Therefore biking is optional and only 20 to 40km per day (13 to 25 miles). You can also go for a walk in town on your own. Historic towns, picturesque villages in a rural environment abounding with water, as well as dunes and beaches. Those are the typical ingredients of the Southern route. And do not forget the mills. A varied trip that guarantees a striking introduction to the heart of the Netherlands.
While cycling in a relaxed way along the reedy borders of the Vecht or Lek River on one day, the next day you will roam the center of 16th Century Delft, Leiden or Haarlem. Absolutely breathtaking are the 18 mills in Kinderdijk driven by the wind and built around 1750. You will discover the world's largest seaport Rotterdam very appropriately by boat. You will visit the beach and the dunes of Scheveningen near The Hague by bike, just like many Dutch people. In the historic towns there is time for visiting a museum (Frans Hals, Rembrandt and Van Gogh), shopping, or relaxation in an outdoor café. The canal tour by boat and the walk through Amsterdam will make this route complete.
