Sublime dikes offering an almost endless view of the lush green meadows along the winding rivers, dreamlike cycle paths leading through picturesque nature to charming Hanseatic towns – these seven unique cycle routes take you through this beautiful landscape from Hanseatic city to Hanseatic city.
Just behind the German-Dutch border, there are nine Dutch Hanseatic towns which have been able to retain their medieval charm to this day. Doesburg, Zutphen, Deventer, Hattem, Zwolle, Hasselt, Kampen, Elburg and Harderwijk – each town has its own charm and character. Beautiful historic city centers, modern shops, hip bars and a diverse cultural scene make the Hanseatic cities particularly attractive destinations for excursions to this day.
In this Collection, we present seven bike routes around the Dutch Hanseatic cities, so you don't have to do anything else but simply start cycling.
