Flower Field & Polder E-Bike Tour

Get on your e-bike if you dare! We will start in Gouda and cycle through the quiet and wide - open polders. Straight lines and endless fields. Enjoy the wide vistas while cycling between water and land.

Our first main stop is Alphen aan den Rijn, a town whose history goes back to the days of the Roman Empire. We will cross bridges, canals and take a ferry to get closer to the flowers!

Passing a main bridge we will enter the Haarlemmermeer, a former inner sea, now farmland! What remains visible in the landscape is a ring dyke that keeps the area dry that now houses Europe's 4th international airport (below sea level).

Getting closer to the coast we will enter the so called Bollenstreek or 'Flower bulb area'. This area is more sandy and has perfect conditions for the growth of flowers. The very well-known Keukenhof exhibition is also located here (we will not visit). You will cycle in between the fields and enjoy the beautiful colours!

On our way back we will pass through Leiden, the famous old city and definitely worth a longer visit.

The Boskoop area is interesting because it houses a huge amount of tree grower's horticulture. This bike tour ends in Gouda's beautiful old town where it will be time to take rest and enjoy the evening!
