Exploring Amsterdam by foot

Dato:
11.11.2025
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
9,2km

Our plan was first to visit the Van Gogh museum of Amsterdam. Enjoying a nice autumn day, we walked there from the hotel. The musuem, however, was sold out -- yes -- and thus we made a new plan: exploring some additional corners of Amsterdam by foot. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

From Rotterdam to Haarlem

Dato:
09.11.2025
Turtype:
Sykkeltur
Turlengde:
8:00t
Distanse:
81,1km

Our plan for the day was to get to Haarlem (from Rotterdam) and given the promising weather forecast we decided to bike there. Starting relatively early from Rotterdam, our first intermediate goal was Delft, where we aimed at some nice breakfast. While we initially thought to cycle along the Schie, we instead ended up following a bike route in parallel to the highway between Rotterdam and Delft. This route was not as nice as the planned one, but it brought us to Delft relatively quickly. In Delft, we then cycled to the main square, where we enjoyed a nice breakfast, sitting outside in the sun. Next, we aimed at getting to the dunes in the north of Den Haag. Close to Scheveningen, we then entered the dunes park. From there, it was then a very nice bike ride along a fine bike path in parallel >>>

Rottemeren from/to Rotterdam

Dato:
08.11.2025
Turtype:
Sykkeltur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
41,1km

We arrived with the water bus from Dordrecht near Erasmusbrug in Rotterdam and rented bikes on our way towards the center of Rotterdam. Given the pleasant autumn weather, we decided to take the bikes on a ride to Rottemeren. We first cycled to Kralingse Plas and then, via Rotterdam Alexander, to the Rotte a bit further north. Following the Rotte further northwards, we then cycled to Veerpont Bleiswijk, before turning around and cycling back to Rotterdam. Once back in Rotterdam, we first visited the Kunsthal, before later refilling some energies. All in all, a very nice day on the bike in Rotterdam! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

City walk through Delft

Dato:
03.10.2025
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
9,2km

Having a bit of extra time on my hand, I decided to explore Delft a little (despite the clearly rainy weather). This brought me both to the campus of TU Delft, as well as into the center of Deft (twice), including Oude Delft, Markt, Beestenmarkt, etc. :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

To Kaizerswaard in Rotterdam and back

Dato:
30.06.2018
Turtype:
Sykkeltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
24,8km

I started from the center of Rotterdam and biked northwards first, crossing the main train station of Rotterdam (through the tunnel). After exploring Provenierssingel a bit, I continued my round via Bergweg to Zwart Janstraat, on which I then cycled into southeastern direction. When crossing the Rotte, I turned into a southern direction and continued until I got to Oudehaven. From there, I followed the Maas river (in eastern direction, mostly), until I came to the large bridge Van Brienenoordbrug. Crossing over the Maas on this bridge, I got myself onto a biking path leading to the park De Twee Heuvels. At Kaizerswaard, I started my return to the center of Rotterdam, first heading towards Lombardijen. Near Spinozapark, I turn right (and into northern direction). After a while, I ended >>>

Exploring Zuiderpark in Rotterdam

Dato:
24.06.2018
Turtype:
Sykkeltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
15,5km

To do a bit of physical work out, we decided to explore Zuiderpark in the south of Rotterdam. To get there, we started in the center of Rotterdam, cycling in southern direction along Westersingel. We then connected to Het Park, before we took the tunnel underneath the Maas river to get to the southern side of Rotterdam. In Oud Charlois, we continued in southwestern direction, parallel to Waalhaven. When getting to Waal, we turned to the left (then in eastern directcion) and started to follow the larger arch of parks, including Zuiderpark and Valkeniersweide. On our way back to Rotterdam, we explored Randweg and Hillevliet, before we got back to Rijnhaven. From there, it was only to cross the bridge Erasmusbrug to complete this loop through the south of Rotterdam. See also the related FB-page >>>

Exploring Middendelfland by bike

Dato:
03.06.2018
Turtype:
Sykkeltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
37,3km

This day, we decided to explore Middendelfland with our bikes. We cycled first northwards from the center of Rotterdam, passing by the airport at its eastern end. From there, we enjoyed our biking across the fields and along the really many canals. The path along Berkelse Zweth, which brought us nearer to Middendelfland (in western direction) was comparably narrow and some care was needed when letting others pass by. Near Zweth we crossed over the canal Delftsche Schie, which we then followed northwards on its western side. Before getting into Delft, we turned left and entered the large park area Abtswoudse Bos on its eastern end. After cycling through the big park, we continued westwards in the south of Abtswoude. When meeting Vlaardingervaart, another big canal, we turned left again >>>

Spiraling out of Rotterdam :-)

Dato:
21.05.2018
Turtype:
Sykkeltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
14,8km

In order do a bit of physical work out, I just took my bike and left the center of Rotterdam without any particular plan. Within short, however, I had the following idea: why not cycling out of Rotterdam in a spiraling pattern?! Obvious idea, of course! :-) So I started cycling/circling around the Cool district of Rotterdam in ever bigger rounds. Eventually, I completed three full turns, seeing a few places in Rotterdam that I had not been to before (nice!). After a short stop at the Walenburg Cafe north of the main train station in Rotterdam, I returned to the center with a smile on my face. :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Some information about the Walenburg is available here , here , and here .

Visiting the Japanese garden in Den Haag

Dato:
20.05.2018
Turtype:
Sykkeltur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
59,3km

We started from the center of Rotterdam with the goal to see the Janapese Garden in Den Haag, which only is open for a few weeks every year. We started in northern direction, passing by the airport of Rotterdam on its eastern end. From there we cycled across the green region between Rotterdam (in the south), Delft (in the northwest), and Berkel en Rodenrijs (in the east). Coming by numerous canals, we crossed through Delfgauw in the east of Delft from south to north. Soon after, we came by the very nice little lake De Grots Plas, where we stopped to enjoy the view! :-) Thereafter, we continued into the direction of Den Haag, coming through some larger residential areas (not too interesting, after all). After a while, we came to De Vliet, which is a long canal between Delft and Leiden >>>

Rotterdam cycling round

Dato:
21.04.2018
Turtype:
Sykkeltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
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 >>>
