Want to find out how to plan a cycle tour across the Netherlands? In this video, I’ll share my recent experience of cycle touring in the Netherlands and provide all the essential tips and insights on how to plan your own trip.
🇳🇱 Back in June I completed a week long cycle tour around the Netherlands, camping and carrying all my gear (https://youtu.be/mKPz8U9iS2U). I experienced the stunning sand dunes, picturesque villages and world-class cycling routes that make the country a cyclists’ paradise – along with a lot of unexpected wet weather…

The South of the country is also very beautiful 😉
Kampen is a very old city. Part of the Hansaetic league, that spanned across Northern Europe and the baltics. Nowadays it is small, but back in the later part of the Middle Ages it was a major trade center.
Thank you so much Guy! You have answered to all my questions and motivate me to go to Netherlands for a tour the coming year. Thanks!😀 Pavlos
I'm living in Lelystad and I'm having 2 bikes: an old 14 speed road bike and a 8 speed Alfine tour bike for every day use. On my road bike I usually go like 25km/h, so I wear a helmet, which is custom in The Netherlands for that type of bike. A helmet in that case is not mandatory, but it is if you join organized cycling events. On the other bike my speed is about 20.5km/h average and then I don't wear a helmet.
Usually I greet people when outside the city (situational: eye contact) and when people are walking on the path then I ring my bell well in advance, reduce speed and thank the people for making way: just normal politeness.
