Historic towns, picturesque villages in a rural environment abounding with water. But also 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 cafe. The canal tour by boat and the walk through Amsterdam will make this route complete.
Time for Tulips April and May are the tulip months in the Netherlands. During this period extra attention is paid to this. You will cycle amid colorful tulip fields hectares wide belonging to Dutch tulip growers. You can visit the Keukenhof, a park full of hundreds of different tulips and many other flowers.
