National long-distance routes

The LF Coastal Route - the most popular long-distance cycle route in Holland - follows the Dutch coast. You can pick up this route not far from Rotterdam, at Hook of Holland. The LF Maas Cycle Route starts in Rotterdam and takes you along the river Maas to Maastricht.

You can cycle a LF route as a separate long-distance route, or - as the LF routes form a network across Holland - combine them into a route of your own. Combining the LF routes often gives you a more varied route and allows you to get back to your starting point. So get creative and don't just focus on one route!
