The cycling route
The 52 km long bike ride starts and ends at Vlugtenburg Holiday Park. You drive through the forest on the edge of Hoek van Holland, a little later you come across the boulevard. Here you have a beautiful view over the water, the many ships and the port of Rotterdam. Further along the Nieuwe Waterweg you will see a few lighthouses on the quay. You drive along the Oranjeplassen, a nature reserve rich in birds. You will also cycle along the Vlietlanden, a pristine lake area.
Experience the Westland from the bike
Recommended
You will cycle past both the Kraaiennest and the Wollebrand, two quiet recreational areas with a pond. A nice place to catch your breath and to cool off in the water or look for the shade. Very tasty while biking a round of Westland!
