Rotterdam cycling round

Datum:
21.04.2018
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
25,7km

We started to cycle from the Cool district in Rotterdam, going north and northeast first. Coming through lakes Bergse Achterplas and Bergse Voorplas, we turned right and continued towards the river Rotte. After first following the river for a short distance (in northeastern direction), we crossed over and continued towards the northeastern end of Kralingse Plas. When "touching" the Kralingse Bos, the park around Kralingse Plas, we turned left (into eastern direction) and headed for the Alexander part of Rotterdam. After passing through Prinsenpark, we continued in southeastern direction towards the river Hollandsche IJssel. Instead of crossing over the large Algerabrug, we started our return-trip to the center of Rotterdam (mostly in western direction), following the IJssel river >>>

Entfernung:
29,2km

We started to cycle from the Cool district in Rotterdam, heading for the nice biking paths along the Rotte river (i.e., towards the northeast). After passing by the lake Bergse Voorplas and Prinsenmolen, we continued on the northwestern side of river Rotte (in northeastern direction) in order to get to the park Bergse Bos. Cycling through the park, we got to know it a little. We then continued to Bergschenhoek first (in northern direction), before crossing over (then in northwestern direction) to Berkel en Rodenrijs. Crossing through the settlement, we met the train line at station Berkel-Westpolder. From there, we turned back, i.e., continued in southern direction, towards Rotterdam. Close to the airport of Rotterdam, however, we included a small detour across the fields north of the >>>

Cycling to, in, and from De Biesbosch

Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
45,1km

After taking the river boat (Waterbus) from Rotterdam to Dordrecht, we cycled (more or less) directly to Kop van Het Land, where we (after a short break) took the ferry over the river Nieuwe Merwede to the national park Biesbosch (the Brabant part of it). Once on the other side, we first took a turn to the left (north) in order to do a clockwise entry arch into the heart of the national park. Our plan was then to cycle longer through the national park and then take another ferry (over the river Amer) to Lage Zwaluwe. When arriving at the very southwestern end of the national park, however, we had to learn that the ferry was not yet put in service for this summer and we had to change our plans. We thus cycled back along the river Nieuwe Merwede and took the ferry to Kop van Het Land, from >>>

From Rotterdam to Kinderdijk, and back

Datum:
06.04.2018
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
41,8km

We took the bikes from Rotterdam downtown and headed first east, then southeast, to get to Kinderdijk, a cultural heritage site (with quite a few traditional windmills). To get back, we changed to the other side of the Noord (and with that to the southern side of the Nieuwe Maas), where we then headed back to Rotterdam. All in all, a very enjoyable bike trip!

Exploring the dunes north of Den Haag

Datum:
01.04.2018
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
38,5km

We rented bikes from the train station Den Haag HS and biked first through the nice park Haagsche Bosch. We then cycled around the large park of Clingendael, before we entered the dunes in the north of Den Haad near the International Courthouse. We then enjoyed biking northwards (and "around"), getting to the very nice museum Voorlinden. After visiting the museum, we decided to have more of the dunes, before returning our bikes and taking the train home. Really a nice day! Selected photos are available as Google photo album .
