The essential cycling atlas for discovering the Netherlands
The Falk Netherlands Cycling Atlas is a comprehensive guide for planning a stay, a tour, or a cycling trip in the Netherlands. A leading destination for cycle touring, the Netherlands boasts a dense network of cycle paths, long-distance routes, and cycle junction points, making it easy to create your own route.
With its 1:75,000 scale maps, this atlas provides a clear and detailed overview of the Dutch territory. It allows you to locate cycle paths, bike-friendly roads, tourist attractions, towns, villages, and useful connections to build a customized itinerary.
A practical tool for creating your own cycling route
In the Netherlands, the cycle junction system allows you to cycle from number to number by following the signs along the way. This atlas lists these junction points, making it easy to plan a day trip, a weekend cycling holiday, or a longer tour.
The Dutch LF-routes, long-distance cycling routes, are also indicated. They form a national network designed for multi-day cycling trips. According to EuroVelo, these LF-routes represent approximately 3,750 km of signposted long-distance routes in both directions.
A useful atlas for major EuroVelo routes
This atlas is also suitable for cyclists who wish to travel a section of a major European cycle route. The Netherlands is crossed by several EuroVelo routes: EuroVelo 2 – Capitals Route, EuroVelo 4 – Central Europe Route, EuroVelo 12 – North Sea Route, EuroVelo 15 – Rhine Route, and EuroVelo 19 – Meuse Cycle Route.
Thanks to its spiral binding, the atlas is easy to consult while lying flat, at your accommodation, during a break, or while planning your route. It's ideal for both long-distance cycle tourists and travelers who want to plan a few cycling loops during a stay in the Netherlands.
