Netherlands walks

This circular route starts from the nature centre in the municipality of De Waal, in the centre of Texel. After passing through the Waal in Burg Polder Nature Reserve, it reaches the east coast via small country lanes, just below the town of Oosterend. A cycle path running alongside the sea leads to the harbour at Oudeschild and continues to the southern tip of the island at ‘t Horntje. A series of well-maintained cycle paths takes you to the town of Den Horn, then runs parallel to the west coast, passing through a forest, amongst other things, to reach the town of De Koog. Further on, the cycle path first runs alongside the high dunes and then crosses them before reaching the lighthouse at the northern tip of the island. The return journey is always via well-maintained cycle paths or quiet country lanes to the town of De Coscksdorp. Shortly afterwards, the route turns away from the sea to reach the Waal en Burg polder via a long, straight road.

A ride along bucolic paths. This is just so you don't have to take the same route back and can see other things and pass through other places... if you still have some energy left in your legs. This ride can be done on an electric bike.

A varied cycle route that takes you past the sea and tulip fields. It makes the most of dedicated cycle paths. The ride starts in Noordwijkerout, where you can hire electric bikes... but it’s just as easy to do on a standard bike. We took our time (including a break by the sea).

Get ready for a walk through water, history and nature, in a landscape shaped by man and time.The Kanaal door Walcheren, dug between 1870 and 1873 to connect Middelburg to the sea, is now a peaceful towpath. The creation of the Veerse Meer in 1960-61 transformed the former tidal area into a calm lake, profoundly reshaping the territory. Around the lake, meadows, polders, reeds, canals and islets form a natural mosaic that is ideal for birds and aquatic life.The village of Gapinge, perched on a slight hill, preserves a15th-century church and the memory of a rural past, while Veere recalls its former maritime influence. A gentle, contemplative hike through water, landscapes and memory.

Let yourself be carried away by exploring Amsterdam on foot, where water, history and local life blend naturally as you walk. Stroll through narrow streets and slender facades that seem to watch over the canals, while the murmur of boats accompanies the silent dance of bicycles. At each bridge, a new perspective appears: changing reflections, gabled houses, a gentle and warm atmosphere. This circular invites you to capture the very essence of the city, between intimate charm and postcard-worthy scenes. Gently capture what makes Amsterdam so magical.

An easy route that passes along the beach, near a pond and through the town centre. Dogs on leads are welcome. Beautiful scenery and no hills. The terrain is sand, earth and tarmac. Refreshments are available along the route.

This loop starts at the municipal swimming pool in Drunen and it is advisable to follow the footpath to the left of the cycle path, as the latter can be very busy.The loop passes through fields with lots of flowers, and after 5 km you can take a break at a terrace to quench your thirst.The return journey is through woods and fields. Vanaf zwembad gelopen.Route aanpassen door links van het fietspad de wandelroute te kiezen ( fietspad kan druk zijn)Route is door de velden, met halverwege bezoek aan terras.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kinderdijk is not only worth a detour but definitely worth the trip! Most likely during the off-season to avoid (also) the tourists brought there by busloads from Rotterdam, The Hague or Amsterdam.The view of the windmills, most of which date from 1740, and the surrounding nature is absolutely magnificent and varies depending on the light... the play of clouds and sun provides a wide variety of contrasts throughout the day, sometimes giving the impression of early evening in the morning.

This large northern island of Zeeland is of interest to hikers because it has a huge nature reserve at its western end.

Completely different from the destinations and landscapes of our usual hikes, this walk takes you on a discovery of the western branch of the Scheldt estuary and the polders in the south of Zeeland.Specially designed to avoid crowds and stay away from towns, we did it on a weekday outside of school holidays.A beautiful sunny day and a steady but not excessive wind made it a wonderful and exotic discovery.

If you are passing near Hulst, don't hesitate to stop off for a short, healthy walk along the old ramparts and a stroll through the town centre along the inner canal and the Grote Markt.

Starting from Rotterdam-Blaak station, this short, leisurely route will take you past several of the city’s sights, spots well worth a visit, and plenty of shops where you can enjoy a spot of window shopping or treat yourself to a delicious Stroopwafel (a caramel-filled waffle, a local speciality).Perfect if you’re just passing through Rotterdam for a few hours or a day!
