Biking in Netherlands - Bike & Barge Holiday

Highlights

Discover the highlights of Holland on a bicycle holiday with barge accommodations!

Not until the 17th Century large parts of the area north of Amsterdam were recovered from the sea and reclaimed through the use of hundreds of windmills. It's here that you will find the typical Dutch landscape of polders, mills, harbours, and tulips.

The route brings you over small dykes and country roads. Many of the windmills are still in working order. You can get a feel for the old Dutch atmosphere in Enkhuizen, Hoorn, Edam and Volendam: traditional costumes, sailing ships and long johns on the clotheslines.

Spend your nights on a comfortable sailing ship: literally a floating hotel. This hotel ship takes you to the various starting points of your bicycle tours. In fact, it's a means of transport, an accommodation and luggage transportation all in one! That's what the Bike & Barge Holidays are about: having a comfortable and pleasant stay in the Netherlands, in a uniquely Dutch way.
