Netherlands Touring Info

[Peter Storey]

I’m planning a self-guided bike tour in the Netherlands in May. Does anyone out there know where I can get cycling maps of the Netherlands comparable to the British Ordinance Survey maps? Alternatively, is there a Dutch equivalent to the old Cyclists Touring Club (also British)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any real personal experience with route planning in The Netherlands... More than 20 years ago we used Tulip Cycling (https://www.tulipcycling.com/) to plan a family bike vacation. They did not provide paper maps, but provided a Garmin GPS with the route preloaded. They provided bikes, luggage transfers, accommodation reservations, and emergency pickup...

I've been thinking about doing a self-planned tour in The Netherlands for a few years. The logistics of getting a recumbent bike to ride there have been a challenge.

Please report back about your tour plans!

If you are looking for paper maps, this website seems to have a good selection:

Here are some online route planners I've seen Dutch cyclist youtubers use...

People recommend Kamoot and RideWithGps apps for The Netherlands...

Good luck,

Jon
