Cycle through northern Holland
Windmills, tulip fields and sea between three coastal landscapes
New
The Netherlands consists of twelve provinces, and this trip takes you to the northernmost part of Noord-Holland – a region that surprises with its great variation and scenic natural surroundings. Here awaits an open landscape where the North Sea, Wadden Sea and IJsselmeer meet, with miles-long sandy beaches, historic trading cities and some of the world's most famous flower fields. During a week you cycle through UNESCO-listed polder landscapes, along old sea dikes and between charming coastal towns before taking the ferry over to the island of Texel. Here await peaceful cycle paths through sand dunes, nature reserves and small villages. With luggage transported between hotels and daily stages on mostly flat terrain, this is a trip that combines nature, culture and classic Dutch views in the best way.

Level and accommodation
The daily stages vary between 48 and 66 km on almost completely flat terrain. The route mainly follows cycle paths, minor country roads and along coastal and sea dikes. Only through the sand dunes do shorter hills occur. The trip suits you with normal fitness who want to cycle slightly longer daily stages without major elevation differences.
Accommodation
You stay in three- and four-star hotels with private bathrooms and breakfast. In "Den Helder" there is an opportunity to upgrade to a higher standard hotel by the coast. The hotels are centrally located or close to the day's attractions and provide a comfortable base throughout the trip.
