Holland, along with Belgium, is one of our most beloved regions for Bike & Boat, and it’s easy to see why. With its endless fields of flowers, breathtaking landscapes, and fantastic cycling infrastructure, cycling and Holland simply go hand in hand!
The Dutch province of North Holland lies on a peninsula between the North Sea, Wadden Sea, and IJsselmeer. It’s the ideal starting point for a picturesque cycling adventure by the water. You'll explore a landscape shaped by the sea, dikes, and dunes, dotted with flower-filled fields, lush meadows, and charming towns that invite you to linger and enjoy the view.
The island of Texel, a journey highlight, is a true natural paradise. Stroll along its endless sandy beaches while taking in panoramic views of the vast sea. In the quaint villages, cafés and cozy shops offer regional specialties for you to savor.
During your journey, be sure to visit the Woudagemaal, the oldest steam-powered pumping station. This industrial monument, built in the style of the Amsterdam School, is a true engineering masterpiece and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1998.
