When you want to cycle just for a day or a couple of days the routes of the Dutch Railways are excellent. Main advantages: it is easy to hire a bicycle at the railway station. These routes make a nice day of cycling. An overview of these 18 routes you'll find on the Dutch Railway website, where you can download the route description.

ANWB Bike routes

Another option is to try one of the about 300 (!) cycling routes which are signposted by the ANWB (the Dutch Automobile Association). For information go to the nearest ANWB office or any book store and buy one of several booklets with descriptions of these routes. Some of the ANWB bike routes are also available as GPS and route planners
