Why go

The Green Heart, Hoge Veluwe, South Limburg and Zaanstreek-Waterland offer contrasting settings for a cycling day. For time by the water, distinguish the open coast around Scheveningen or Zandvoort from inland lake areas such as Wijdemeren, Kaag and Aalsmeer. Wind and rain matter when deciding how much outdoor travel to include.

Useful to know

  • Choose the cycling area first: South Limburg's hills offer a different day from the Green Heart's lowland landscape.
  • Check the forecast before committing to a beach day or an exposed cycling route.
