The Netherlands is a leader on the world cycling stage. Known for its cycling infrastructure with cycle paths and signposting, the Netherlands is a true cycling paradise for tourists from home and abroad. Other road traffic in the Netherlands is also used to and attuned to cyclists.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Netherlands is flat with hilly terrain only in a few places in the country.<\/p>

Popular cycling regions include South Limburg, where at 322m lies the country's highest mountain, Vaalserberg. Here is also the border triangle with Belgium and Germany.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Other popular destinations are Drenthe, where touring is mainly flat, but where t Dwingelderveld, the VAM Berg and also the MTB routes around Norg attract many visitors.<\/p>

Many kilometres are also covered in the Achterhoek over the gently rolling countryside.<\/p>

In addition, many a road cyclist will want to conquer Amerongse Berg, on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. There are a number of shorter hills in this area, which will briefly evoke that foreign feeling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
