Cycling in South Holland
South Holland is one of the most densely populated and industrialized regions in the world, yet this province also offers abundant opportunities for nature and recreation. Discover the surprisingly green landscapes that surround the major cities in the region. Here, you will find meadows, ditches, ponds, and lakes, crisscrossed by picturesque paths lined with gracefully pruned willow trees, thatched-roof farms, and countless windmills with turning sails—landscapes that you absolutely must experience! Combine this with the expansive dunes, historic city centers, and an extensive network of cycling paths, and you'll have every reason to return regularly for an active and relaxing day on your bike.
