Cycling, beaches and water activities
Outdoor choices range from cycling in the Green Heart to beaches along the North Sea and boating landscapes in Friesland. Weather changes the character of each option.
Netherlands / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Netherlands with our travel partners.
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.
