For a country renowned for its waterways, dikes, windmills and cheese finding good mountain bike trails in The Netherlands might seem an illusion. With 50% of its lands under sea level and the highest peak at a mere 322 meters, the tiny country houses a treasure cove of high quality mountain bike trails one would never expect to find.

Today we can safely say The Netherlands has some incredible mountain bike trails on which any mountain biker will be able to enjoy him/her self. The way tracks have either been altered or created ensures the future of mountain biking in The Netherlands will be bright. It just shows you what can be accomplished when you take the effort, think outside of the box and simply put in the work.

  1. This is similar to Long Island New York. No mountains and boring as hell. Not very challenging. Cut a few dead trees down and throw in some boulders and create a rock garden.

  2. looks great – this was my biggest concern about possibly moving to the Netherlands…. the lack of topography. But, I think from this one video that it's quite clear that there is enough terrain to make it interesting – possibly more so than my daily ride around the spruit where I live. 😀

  3. I would be thankful to the creator if i reached 60 and still shredding trails. I hope time can let me go visit Netherlands and ride.

  4. Unfortunately the Dutch trail builders probably never went to a real mtb location and congratulate themselves on making kilometers of boring trails that can be ridden without any skill

    Indeed, the ones shown on the video are one of the better ones – and not a mountain bike trail. No rockgardens, jumps, offcamber, roots, switchbacks or steep terrain in 99% of the Netherlands.

    Shame, check out how they do it in Denmark
