Biking Amsterdam-Bruges: Bike Tour of Holland and Belgium

The Low Countries united

Holland's Golden Age in the 17th century and the hey-day of the Flemish trade cities in the Middle Ages united in one route.
You will notice the large differences between the green Dutch polder landscape with water aplenty and quiet roads and villages, the old island world of Zeeland, with fields, creeks, winding dikes and dams, and the often picturesque countryside between the Flemish cities of Ghent and Bruges in Belgium.
These two Belgian cities experienced their golden age long be-fore the emergence of the Dutch as a trading nation. This is clearly evident in the architecture and paintings of the Flemish school. Also, the large rivers in this part of the Netherlands and Belgium are a prominent feature along the route. Of course, you will be introduced to the Netherlands' own world wonder: the Delta Works, which bear witness to the country's age-old battle against the sea.
