We\u2019ve created a lot of content about many different countries, regions and routes in the Netherlands, Europe and far beyond. Beautiful destinations for a cycling holiday. Cycling in <a href=\"\/en\/stories\/the-vuelta-shows-you-unknown-spain\/\">Spain<\/a>, cycling in <a href=\"\/en\/stories\/cycling-in-trentino-lago-di-molveno\/\">Italy<\/a>, But also cycling in <a href=\"\/en\/stories\/taiwan-hidden-asian-beauty\/\">Taiwan<\/a> or cycling in Argentina.

On this route, we mostly followed the route of the Vuelta start in 2022. It was a beautiful autumn ride through beautiful places. With a route of 100 kilometers, we passed through Amerongen, along the Valleikanaal, and the Pyramide of Austerlitz was also not missing on this route. A must-see for lovers of beautiful Dutch nature and sometimes a hill. And a castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC_0058-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"Our top 5 of 2021\" data-id=\"3031\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC_0058-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/in-het-spoor-van-la-vuelta-holanda\/attachment\/dsc_0058\" class=\"wp-image-3031\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC_0037-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"Our top 5 of 2021, photo 2\" data-id=\"3052\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC_0037-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/in-het-spoor-van-la-vuelta-holanda\/attachment\/dsc_0037\" class=\"wp-image-3052\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC_0067-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"Our top 5 of 2021, photo 3\" data-id=\"3022\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/DSC_0067-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/in-het-spoor-van-la-vuelta-holanda\/attachment\/dsc_0067\" class=\"wp-image-3022\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8285-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Our top 5 of 2021, photo 4\" data-id=\"3095\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8285-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/in-het-spoor-van-la-vuelta-holanda\/attachment\/img_8285\" class=\"wp-image-3095\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8366-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"cyclingdestination.cc - hill country\" data-id=\"3103\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_8366-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/in-het-spoor-van-la-vuelta-holanda\/attachment\/img_8366\" class=\"wp-image-3103\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"\/en\/stories\/cycling-in-carinthia-is-fantastic\/\">Carinthia: a touch of the Mediterranean<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Austria was popular anyway, but Carinthia stood out. We were already impressed by the landscape and the various opportunities in this state. Did you know that former professional cyclist Johnny Hoogerland has settled down on the Worthersee? It is fertile training ground, because Johnny still rides the cobblestones on the road. If you\u2019re in Carinthia, you can climb the magnificent Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse as well as the Zoncolan and the gems of the Julian Alps in Slovenia.

But hey, what do you want when you end up in a stunning location? Mallorca has been popular with cyclists all over Europe for years. That\u2019s only right, if you ask us. The roads are beautiful, you can choose between quiet routes, more crowded, challenging climbs, and of course the beautiful route to Cap de Formentor (see the first photo in this article). If you go, choose a stay outside the summer months. Then it\u2019s still nice and quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7802-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Our top 5 of 2021, photo 5\" data-id=\"2574\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7802-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/dagboek-mallorca-de-finale\/attachment\/img_7802\" class=\"wp-image-2574\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7814-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Our top 5 of 2021, photo 6\" data-id=\"2560\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7814-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/dagboek-mallorca-de-finale\/attachment\/img_7814\" class=\"wp-image-2560\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7507-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Our top 5 of 2021, photo 7\" data-id=\"2525\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7507-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/dagboek-mallorca-dag-iv-coll-de-femenia-en-sa-batalla\/attachment\/img_7507\" class=\"wp-image-2525\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC00778-1-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Our top 5 of 2021, photo 8\" data-id=\"2515\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC00778-1.jpeg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/dagboek-mallorca-dag-iv-coll-de-femenia-en-sa-batalla\/attachment\/dsc00778-1\" class=\"wp-image-2515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC00778-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC00778-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC00778-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC00778-1.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7499-1-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Our top 5 of 2021, photo 9\" data-id=\"2510\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7499-1-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/dagboek-mallorca-dag-iv-coll-de-femenia-en-sa-batalla\/attachment\/img_7499-1\" class=\"wp-image-2510\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mike-Cotty-Frank-Schleck-Col-Collective-Sa-Calobra-climb-Mallorca-training-ride-pic-Col-Collective3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Mike Cotty Frank Schleck Col Collective Col climb Mallorca training ride pic Col\" data-id=\"2485\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mike-Cotty-Frank-Schleck-Col-Collective-Sa-Calobra-climb-Mallorca-training-ride-pic-Col-Collective3.jpg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/classic-ride-sa-calobra\/attachment\/mike-cotty-frank-schleck-col-collective-sa-calobra-climb-mallorca-training-ride-pic-col-collective3\" class=\"wp-image-2485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mike-Cotty-Frank-Schleck-Col-Collective-Sa-Calobra-climb-Mallorca-training-ride-pic-Col-Collective3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mike-Cotty-Frank-Schleck-Col-Collective-Sa-Calobra-climb-Mallorca-training-ride-pic-Col-Collective3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mike-Cotty-Frank-Schleck-Col-Collective-Sa-Calobra-climb-Mallorca-training-ride-pic-Col-Collective3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mike-Cotty-Frank-Schleck-Col-Collective-Sa-Calobra-climb-Mallorca-training-ride-pic-Col-Collective3.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7234-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Our top 5 of 2021, photo 10\" data-id=\"2476\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7234-scaled.jpeg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/dagboek-mallorca-deel-iii-cap-de-formentor\/attachment\/img_7234\" class=\"wp-image-2476\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG_7220-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"cyclingdestination -

We wrote this article together with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aswisswithapulse.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alain Rumpf<\/a>, Now also a friend of the show. His home region is one to write about. With the Col de la Croix as a beautiful attraction, it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmc-aigle.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CMC<\/a> from the UCI in Aigle. In addition, Alain also gave us a nice insight into a gravel route and another hidden hill, which ends with a view over Lake Leman towards Geneva. So it\u2019s cool and not unexpected that this article has been read a lot. Because when you go cycling in Switzerland, this region or the nearby <a href=\"\/en\/stories\/cycling-to-barrage-demosson\/\">Valais<\/a> a must. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coldelacroix-alain-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Coldelacroix alain\" data-id=\"2540\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coldelacroix-alain-2.jpeg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/alpes-vaudoises-in-het-spoor-van-alain-rumpf\/attachment\/coldelacroix-alain-2\" class=\"wp-image-2540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coldelacroix-alain-2.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Coldelacroix-alain-2-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/coldelacroix2.jpeg\" alt=\"cyclingdestination - col de La Croix\" data-id=\"2537\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/coldelacroix2.jpeg\" data-link=\"\/verhalen\/alpes-vaudoises-in-het-spoor-van-alain-rumpf\/attachment\/coldelacroix2\" class=\"wp-image-2537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/coldelacroix2.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/coldelacroix2-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"\/en\/stories\/abu-dhabi\/winter-destination-abu-dhabi\/\">Abu Dhabi<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was logical that Abu Dhabi would finish high up.

Yet we were surprised by the wonderful cycling opportunities in the oil-rich country. Not only the possibility to cycle around the Yas Marina circuit, but also the somewhat more hilly hinterland offers ample opportunities for a wonderful cycling holiday. And that you can cycle in the Middle East is becoming increasingly clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kent-tupas-RuIRLhBqWkg-unsplash-1024x671.jpg\" alt=\"Cyclingdestination.cc - Abu Dhabi - jebel haft\" data-id=\"3882\" data-full-url=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/kent-tupas-RuIRLhBqWkg-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/?attachment_id=3882\" class=\"wp-image-3882\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Jebel Hafeet<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Afgelopen maanden hebben we bij CyclingDestination niet stil gezeten.
