Cycling in the Netherlands
There may be hardly any other region where cycling enthusiasts feel as comfortable as in the Netherlands. Altogether there are over 30,000 km of cycle paths, which are well signposted throughout the country. The pleasant mild climate, the mostly flat landscape and the excellent infrastructure contribute to the cycling experience. With the bicycle hub system, you can easily plan your day trips, while the nationwide cycle routes (LF routes) are best suited for multi-day bike trips. Have fun discovering!

Rondje Veluwe vanaf de Plaghak by Robert

Deze toch is erg goed uitgestippeld. Veel mooie en verrassende paden. Erg afwisselend. Er zijn wat aandachtspunten omdat op twee unten is gekozen voor zandpaden en dat is niet lekker voor een e-bike. Ze zijn door gebruik van de kaart echter eenvoudig te omzeilen.
