Rotterdam-exploration 07: Via Kralingse Plas to Rottemeren

Datum:
03.09.2017
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
37,2km

We started from the center of Rotterdam, cycling eastwards to get to Kralingse Plas, i.e., a really nice recreational area quite near to the city center. From its northeastern "corner", we then continued northwards in order to connect to the Rotte and the nice dams alongside it. Once there, we cycled along the Rotte in northwards direction and arrived at Rottemeren (on its eastern side) soon. We cycled all the way northwards to the point, where the highway A12 is crossing the Rotte. There we switched to the other side (the western side) and started our return to Rotterdam from there. We started to cycle along the Rotte, again (now on its western side) until we took a turn to the right in the southeast of Bleiswijk. Leaving the Rotte behind us, we followed Merenweg in the south >>>

Rotterdam-exploration 06: to Gouda and back

Datum:
27.08.2017
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
71,1km

This sixth exploration of Rotterdam by bike brought me to the northeast of Rotterdam, in particular to Gouda. I cycled first towards the east (into the direction of Kralingse Plas), but turned left once I had crossed the Rotte. Then, I was basically following the Rotte into northeastern direction all the way to Rottemere, where I departed from the main cycling route (which leads further north) and crossed over to Zevenhuizen. From there, I continued into northeastern direction, crossing the highway A12, also, until I came to Waddinxveen. There, I changed into eastern direction, which brought me to Reeuwijk, right next to the lakes north of Gouda. I then circled 's-Gravenbroek in the north, before I crossed between Elfhoeven and Kleine Elfhoeven towards the south and Gouda. The old center >>>

Rotterdam-exploration 05: along the Oude Maas to Dordrecht

Datum:
26.08.2017
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
5:00h
Entfernung:
72,6km

This fifth exploration of Rotterdam by bike brought me to the southeast of Rotterdam. I cycled first towards Schiedam in the west of Rotterdam. At Vijfsluizen, I turned left (into southern direction) and headed towards the Benelux-tunnel that connects to the south underneath the Nieuwe Maas. It's really cool that cyclists have their own tunnel, in fact! On the souther side, I biked by Pernis, before I came to the enormous traffic line, which leads out to Europoort in the west (train tracks plus two highways next to each other). I followed this traffic line a bit towards the west so that I could circle Hoogvliet on its western side. After all, this also brought me towards the Oude Maas, along which I had planned to cycle towards Dordrecht. Doing so, I enjoyed the nice biking paths along >>>

Rotterdam-exploration 04: to the Atlantic and back

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
6:00h

89,4km

This fourth exploration of Rotterdam on bikes brought us to the west of Rotterdam. We started in Rotterdam Centrum and headed westwards, first. We crossed the Delfshavensche Schie and cycled then towards Schiemond, before we changed direction (towards Schiedam). Passing by Merwehaven, we came to Schiedam, where we turned left (towards the south). At the Nieuwe Maas we then turned right, again, following then the Westfrankelandsedijk towards the west. Passing by Volkspark, we came to Vijfsluizen from where we connected to Vlaardingen. In the west of Vlaardingen, we found a nice biking path through the green and open land there. That brought us to Maassluis, where we connected to the dam (on the northern side of the Nieuwe Maas). We then followed the dam (against some very strong headwinds!) >>>

Rotterdam-exploration 03: Kralingse Plas etc.

Datum:
13.08.2017
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
18,9km

This third exploration of Rotterdam on bikes brought us to the near east of Rotterdam center (we made a round around Kralingse Plas, in a way). We started in Rotterdam Centrum and headed eastwards, first. When we came to Boezem, we turn left (mostly in northern direction) and soon came to the most-western end of Kralingse Plas. Circling this lake on its northern side revealed a large recreational area full of people, enjoying a nice day at the lake. Then, intead of immediately biking home, we made a little extra-exploration of the southeast of Rotterdam. Biking back towards the center of Rotterdam along the Nieuwe Maas was also nice. Before eventually getting back to the center, we crossed over the river (and Noordereiland), biked then along Koningshaven, before getting back to the center >>>

Ameland in the north of Friesland

Datum:
09.08.2017
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
25,2km

We wished to see a bit of Friesland in the very north of The Netherlands. Thus, we took the ferry to Ameland, where we landed south of Nes. Within minutes, we had rented some bikes and started our little explortion tour in this island. We first followed the dam on the southern side of Ameland towards the west. Even though the entire island is almost completely flat, this part of the tour was kind of demanding due to strong headwinds. After a while, we approached Hollum on the westside of Ameland, where we enjoyed a little break. Before returning, we made a short detour to the big lighthouse of Hollum. Afterwards, we continued back towards Nes, but this time on the northern side of Ameland (amid the wide-stretched dunes of Ameland). About half way back, we stopped for a short exploration >>>

Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
26,9km

This second exploration of Rotterdam on bikes brought us to the near north of Rotterdam center (we circled Rotterdam airport, in a way). We started in Rotterdam Centrum and headed westwards, first (south of the train tracks). We then turned right (in northwestern direction) and continued into the direction of Overschie. We connected to the dam next to Delftsche Schie and followed it for a short stretch. Then, west of the airport of Rotterdam, we turn right, again, now into northeastern direction (towards Berkel en Rodenrijs). We crossed the fields until we came to the train station of Rodenrijs. Shortly after, we turned right, again (now into southeastern direction). We followed some nice bike paths until we came to the lake(s) Bergsche Voorplas. After a short break, there, we continued >>>

Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:

This first exploration of Rotterdam on our bikes brought us first and foremost to its center and then a little around. Rotterdam is really nice to explore on a bike with bike paths in all directions.

Geitanipa

Datum:
08.07.2017
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
4,8km

We started from Langhelle, between Trengereid and Vaksdal, at the end of the paved (small and narrow) road, which winds up there from E16 near the fjord. We first walked up a little longer along the gravel road until the point, where it makes a sharp turn right, leading further up to Seterkokane. We then followed a forest trail that brought us further up (in southeastern direction) to the saddle between Trollaberget and Geitanipa. At about this saddle, we decided to not descend to the southern side, but instead to connect to Geitanipa, instead. While there was not really any path or trail to Geitanipa, we still managed to get there without major difficulties (Geitanipa is, in fact, a bit steep on its eastern side, so it is necessary to carefully choose a good spot for ascending to it). >>>

Summer evening on Lyderhorn

Datum:
03.07.2017
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
4,6km

We took the car along road 557 towards Bjørndalen, where we parked right next to Bjørndalstjørna. We crossed the double-lane street (Lyderhornsveien) and found a narrow passage that led us up to Bjørndalsbakken. From there, we connected to Sildaberget and between houses 31 and 35 we found the narrow opening, which leads the path that brings one up the steep mountain-side there. Before actually ascending to Lyderhorn, we first crossed Skarpafjellet in the south of Lyderhorn. Once up the little top, there, one can enjoy some very nice views in all directions. In order to get further to Lyderhorn, we descended from Skarpafjellet on its northeastern side, avoiding the very steep side towards Grøvledalen. From the saddle, where also a power line is crossing, we then followed a path, which >>>
