Do you like cycling? Check out this beginner route through one of the most cycling-friendly countries in the world! This 10-day itinerary takes you past some of the prettiest towns in The Netherlands, as well as multiple nature areas.

The route can be adapted in terms of length and level of difficulty. Most paths are paved and therefore suitable for any type of bike. I've included a place for lunch, dinner and to spend the night at every stop along the route.

You can also choose to do part of the route. Most places can be easily reached by train (bikes are allowed on the train during off-peak times). If you prefer a fully personalised itinerary for a cycle trip through The Netherlands, please reach out!

Eco Hotel Plantage Rococo

This eco hotel is meant as a nice retreat for those who want to follow in the footsteps of 17th and 18th century merchants. When booking your stay, you can choose between luxurious suites or smaller B&B rooms. Bed linen is all made from organic cotton.

Most notable about Eco Plantage Rococo is the styling and attention to detail. Decorative items have been refurbished and artworks are on display throughout the hotel. The restaurant includes some vegan and vegetarian dishes on the menu, but the portions are fairly small for the price.

The main 'eco' aspect of the hotel is its large estate. You can wander around this nature area unless it is breeding season for birds, when some parts are resticted access.
