    The cycling network in Holland is brilliant. There are repeatedly junction points that are announced accordingly.
    When approaching a junction point, signs say: “You are approaching the junction”, so you should be careful.
    At each junction point there is a sign with a good map on which the point and the surrounding junctions as well as the distances to the next junctions can be read.
    Because of this system, it is very easy to orient yourself and to carry out bike trips.
    It is also very easy to shorten or extend the route on the way.

    With the homepage http://de.nederlandfietsland.nl/fietsrouteplanner bike trips in Holland can be planned very well!

    Author’s recommendation

    No matter if you come to Amsterdam by plane, ship, train, or car, you can truly experience Amsterdam only by bike.

    If you don’t have one, you should rent one, it’s very easy and possible everywhere – and then you should get to know Amsterdam and the surroundings by bike.

    Rental places almost at every station, at least at Amsterdam Centraal, Sloterdijk, Amstel stations.

    Safety information

    The cyclists in Holland ride very fast and confidently.

    Mopeds also use the bike paths!

    Especially leisurely cyclists should be prepared to not ride side by side and always stay to the right!
