Belgium & Netherlands – Bicycle paradise

Day 1: Arrival in Leiden
Welcome to the North Sea! At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the tour guides welcome their group at the starting hotel in Leiden.

Day 2: Leiden - Maassluis
We start our tour in Leiden, Rembrandt's hometown, which bears much resemblance to Amsterdam with its canals and rows of classical houses. The area is densely populated, but in Holland there is always a well-maintained bike path for cyclists that runs idyllically along some canal or river. We pass through The Hague and soon reach the river Nieuwe Maas, which is actually one of the many branches in the river delta of the Rhine.

Day 3: Maassluis - Cadzand
Island hopping is on our agenda today! Over several bridges and dams we go from one peninsula or island to the next, even a ferry ride is planned. Many stretches of coastline here are surprisingly unspoiled and protected, the air is clear and there is always a pleasant breeze blowing in from the North Sea. The Netherlands is THE cycling country par excellence and anyone who rides here will understand why.

Day 4: Cadzand - Brugge (Bruges)
Bruges is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, and because it is not far away, we have plenty of time for sightseeing. The entire city center of Bruges, which has never been damaged in wars or major fires, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and can even be explored by boat thanks to the many canals. What a fantastic city!

Day 5: Brugge (Bruges)

Day 6: Brugge (Bruges) - Ghent
Bruges and Ghent are connected by a canal, along which you can leisurely cruise. There are also many beautiful castles and man- or houses here, as well as charming cafes and lots of wide-open countryside. Ghent is a city full of sights, so we don't want to arrive too late here.
