May be you decide to cycle in Holland along the coast, to the beautiful landscape of the North Sea beaches or to the wonderful North Sea islands. Or you can book a tour which leads to the fascinating large cities such as Rotterdam and Amsterdam, as well as pretty small town like Delft and Gouda. Cycling trips through Netherlands offer picturesque motifs like Kinderdijk windmills, red endless tulip fields and the magnificent royal palaces around The Hague.
These are not all reasons to explore the Netherlands. There are a lot more! Book a bike trip and convince yourself! Or you can travel by bike and boat through the Netherlands. Both are beautiful. We offers you both! The boat will take you to many attractive countries and cities like Brussel or Bruges. You will love the combination between sleeping on board and cycling during the day. The largely flat regions of Netherlands and Belgium are ideal for cycling.

The "Knoten" (nodal) point system
A cycling holiday in the Netherlands is perfect and good for everyone to cycle. Apart from the flat landscape and the well-developed cycle paths, the Netherlands is a pioneer in terms of navigation.
The "Knoten" (nodal) point system
The junction-related signage (also the junction-point system) offers the cyclist a practical help with your tour planning. This system originated in Belgium but quickly spread to the Netherlands and Germany.
All intersections (nodes) are numbered in this system. At these points there are signs to all neighbouring nodes. Here, in addition to the number of the node, the paths to neighbouring nodes are indicated.
And now?
Would you like get to know the Netherlands by bike? Would you like to travel to South Holland by bike and boat? Or North Holland? Or the Netherlands and Belgium together? Then book a trip with a lot of attention of Rückenwind Holidays and look foward to explore a country with best conditions to make your holiday to a pleasure.

about our attractive cycle tours by boat and bike through the Netherlands.
Where it is now available, we simply plan your cycling holiday from junction to junction and you always follow the directions to the next junction. You will always be guided in the right direction on the route.
In the Netherlands, there are organisations that take care of these junctions and the maintenance of the signs, but unfortunately this is not necessarily the case in Germany after the introduction of this system. In some cases, each municipality uses its own junction maps and also manages its own signs.
We are endeavouring to put this together for you, as there is still no joint body in Germany that covers this system. In some cases, you will therefore receive individual maps with junctions locally, which are then only valid for the municipality or region. You will then need different map material.
You are in good hands with our route books. We summarise these junctions (if available) for you and prepare a route book for you.
From 2024 you can also use our Rückenwind Reisen app. You can download the route book here. You will then receive the login to the app by e-mail and then have the option of using the app or downloading the route book as a PDF.
