The Maasroute extends 300 miles through the Netherlands, starting from Maastricht and looping back to Rotterdam. The family planned to cycle 100 miles from Maastricht to Dordrecht over four days. The route features beautiful landscapes with castles, windmills, and charming villages. Cycling in the Netherlands benefits from flat terrain and well-maintained bike paths, ideal for children. For navigation, a fold-out cycling map and a free cycling app were utilized, and the journey started after taking a train from Leiden to Maastricht, where they spent the night in a hostel.
The Maasroute follows the course of the Maas River as it meanders for 300 miles (484km) through the Netherlands, from the inland city of Maastricht to the Hook of Holland.
This plan included cycling the 100-mile stretch from Maastricht to Dordrecht over four days, traversing expansive floodplains dotted with castles, windmills and villages.
As we were living in Leiden, we took the train to Maastricht and stayed in a hostel overnight, before beginning our biking adventure.
The terrain in the Netherlands is predominantly pancake-flat with protected bike paths and low-traffic roads, making it an ideal location for beginner cyclists.
