Long-distance routes

The national long-distance cycle network (LF routes) is a series of signposted routes intended for cycling holidays. You can pick up some of the national long-distance routes in The Hague.

The LF Coastal Route - the best know long-distance cycle route in Holland - follows the Dutch coast and passes through The Hague on its way. The Middle of Holland Route (LF4) crosses Holland from The Hague in the west to Enschede in the east.

You can cycle a LF route as 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.
