You'll encounter dolmens, ancient moorland landscapes, the site of the famous Girl of Yde, traces of a Roman Mars camp, burial mounds and museums displaying archaeological finds.
These routes offer a fascinating insight into the life and culture of people who lived here thousands of years ago.
Traces of prehistoric activity have been found throughout the Netherlands in Limburg, Gelderland, North Holland, the Achterhoek, and Drenthe, so you can select the route that most appeals to you.
Whether you're an experienced cyclist or looking for a fun activity for the whole family, there's something for everyone. The routes vary in length and difficulty, so both beginners and advanced cyclists will find a suitable adventure.
This Collection is an invitation to experience history in an active and unique way. Get ready to pedal, explore, and enjoy the beauty of the Netherlands while uncovering the secrets of our past.
Most of the routes start and end at a train station. There’s also ample parking. A few routes in Drenthe don't have a train station nearby, so it's more convenient to drive or rent a bike locally.
What are you waiting for? Choose a route, grab your bike, and prepare for an adventure that will take you back to an era long before our modern society. Prehistory awaits!
