Cycling routes in North Holland
Cycling routes in North Holland take you through a province full of contrasts, from dunes and wide sandy beaches to polders, green meadows, and large nature areas. You ride past impressive dune landscapes, through scenic reclaimed land, and over quiet dikes with views of water and open countryside. Forests and heathland add even more variety, especially along the inner dune belt and around the main nature reserves.
Along the way you pass historic towns and authentic fishing villages, with well known heritage sites such as Zaanse Schans and the Beemster polder. Thanks to the well signed cycle route network and the cycling junction system, it is easy to combine nature, culture, and history in one ride in North Holland.
