Thanks so much for putting together this site! I'm trying to plan a cycle tour of Holland for this spring from the USA. It's so hard to find English information. Your site is extremely helpful, well organized, and comprehensive without being overwhelming. Thanks again.

Should ever I visit Holland I would be quite interested in visiting/cycling the collection of wooded areas just to the east of Alperdoorn. My father fought in those woods in April of 1945 as part of the Liberation. Are there trails in that area?

Yes, there are great cycle routes in the Apeldoorn area! Here is a link to our Apeldoorn Cycle Route which takes you to Het Loo Palace and the Royal Forest. You say your father fought in those woods in April 1945 as part of the Liberation. You might also be interested in our Arnhem Airborn Cycle Route takes you to the major landmarks of the Battle of Arnhem in WWII.

A question from a visitor

Posted on 27 September 2023

Hey Holland Cycling team! We will be in Amsterdam soon and want to go from Amsterdam to Marken by bike. Is the Uitdammerdijk still closed or is it possible to take this way?Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,
a Visitor

Dear Visitor,

Unfortunately, the work on the Uitdammerdijk is taking longer than planned and it will remain closed until the end of 2024. It is possible to make a detour, but obviously it is not as nice as cycling over the dyke.

Another option to get to Marken is via our Volendam Cycle Route which starts in Purmerend. This means taking a ferry from Volendam to Marken. See our Volendam Cycle Route.

I am interested in the Round Netherlands route but I do not use GPX. Is there a list of the LF sections used so I can use the paper maps or is the route actually denoted on the paper maps?

Thank you, Iain

To see which parts of the LF routes are included in the Tour of Holland (Ronde van Nederland), go to: www.nederlandfietsland.nl/fietsroute/lf-ronde-van-nederland/.

Actually, there is also a guide book (Dutch only) with a map of the Tour of Holland. See: www.nederlandfietsland.nl/fietsgidsen/fietsgids-ronde-van-nederland-via-lf-routes/

Hello, just out walking near Amsterdam and was in a collision with a cyclist using the pedestrian lane. What’s the rules on this. Thanks.

Hilary Staples

Holland-Cycling.com

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, cyclists regularly use foot paths and pedestrian lanes, but this is illegal and they can be fined for doing this. I hope you're fine and there is no damage. If there is, it's the cyclist who was in the wrong and should take the responsibility.

Hello, last month (June 2023) myself and my partner visited the Netherlands for the first time. It was also our first cycling trip! We had a wonderful time cycling the Zuiderzee route. The cycling was easy and relaxing compared to here in Scotland, camping places were easy to find and the Dutch people we spoke to were friendly and helpful. We can't wait to return.
Finding this website was a stroke of luck, there is so much information it made planning our trip that much easier which allowed us to be less anxious.
Thank you and keep up the great work.

Just completed the LF Waterline route. Did it south to north thinking we’d outwit the wind, but that failed spectacularly ???? It is a fascinating route and I enjoyed seeing all the old forts and the ingenious uses to which they’ve been put to more recently. Wished we’d had more time to spend at the fort in Edam as there was so much to see (and the volunteer guides were so helpful) but we had to dash back for the ferry back to Hull!

Cycling from south to north usually is your safest bet, but here you can never trust the wind:-) Pleased to hear you enjoyed your cycling trip and all the forts along the route. Time is always too short when you're having fun. Hope you manage to return to Holland for more cycling soon!

The Dutch Railway is a joke trying to get from Den Haag to Maastricht two days before Amstel Gold was an absolute nightmare of a journey, reservations are definitely what are needed!

Hi Andrew,
Sorry to hear that you had a nightmare journey. Unfortunately, Dutch Rail has been having a lot of problems lately: staff shortages, work on the rail, cancelled trains, shorter trains (hence busier trains and less room for bikes).

Just a quick thank you. With your maps and a 10 euro bike hire I had a fabulously memorable day in Utrecht and surrounds. This is a great service that you provide! And the Dutch biking facilities/infrastructure are amazing. Hope I can come back soon!
