National Park & Medieval towns

Amersfoort - Otterlo - Arnhem - Zutphen - Deventer

During its heyday in the Middle Ages, the Hanseatic League dominated maritime trade in Northern Europe. Discover the wealth it brought towns like Zutphen, Deventer and Kampen in their stately merchant houses, lively squares and imposing churches. Take in lush river landscapes and cycle through the woods and heathland of the ‘Hoge Veluwe’ National Park, which is teeming with wildlife.

A special highlight at the heart of the ‘Hoge Veluwe’ National Park is the renowned Kröller-Müller museum, which has, for example, the world’s second largest collection of Van Gogh paintings. And, if you’re into museums, you can visit plenty more, like the René Lalique Museum and Mustard Museum in Doesburg or the Toy Museum in Deventer.

Last, but not least, you will visit the ‘Airborne Region’ of Arnhem where you can discover the stories behind Operation Market Garden and commemorate those who perished in WWII.

Advantages of a Tulip Cycling tour:

● Carefully planned itinerary to suit your interests and pace – or we’ll tailor-make your own tour.

● Only individual departures – choose your start and finish dates to fit in with your other plans.

● Tour introduction and end-of-tour meeting attended personally by our own expert staff.

● Our equipment and support is top rated to give you peace-of-mind.

● With our hotel bookings and luggage transport option, we provide you a full-service package.

 

Please note: This tour begins on a cycling day. We recommend arriving in the Netherlands a few days earlier and booking at least one pre-tour overnight in Amsterdam and/or in atmospheric Amersfoort. Amersfoort is just over 30 minutes from the centre of Amsterdam by train and a great place to start your tour.

 

Day 1 Amersfoort - Otterlo (43 km)

Your tour starts with a personal bike fitting and a detailed explanation of your tour in Amersfoort. Pedal to the well-preserved and listed medieval centre with one of the tallest church towers in the Netherlands. It is possible for you to visit the Mondriaan House or the historical, and educational, Flehite museum. The cycle ride out of town will take you on a quiet bike lane along a tranquil canal up to the villages of Scherpenzeel, Renswoude and Lunteren. From Lunteren onwards, the landscape starts to change and the more open farmland is replaced by gorgeous forest areas. You end your day in the pretty village of Otterlo at the gateway to the ‘Hoge Veluwe’ National Park.

 

Day 2 Otterlo - Arnhem (47 km)

Your cycling today takes you through the National Park, which covers approximately 55 km². It is a mix of heathland, sand and woodland areas. Once in the park, you will cycle past the famous Kröller Müller museum. The museum (which is not open on Mondays) has the second-largest collection of paintings by Vincent van Gogh, as well as one of Europe’s largest sculpture gardens. You leave the park, to the north of Arnhem, and the trip makes a loop to Oosterbeek. You will pass the Doorwerth castle, the Airborne Second World War museum and finally ride on to the city of Arnhem. On the last few kilometers there are plenty of museums and highlights to visit like the Dutch National Open Air Museum, the zoo and the Dutch water museum. Finally ending your day at the charming Art Nouveau hotel Molendal on the edge of the town centre.

 

 Day 3 Arnhem - Zutphen (46 km)

After having a lovely breakfast, you leave the town of Arnhem and cycle up to the river IJssel valley. After taking a small bicycle ferry, you cycle along pretty recreational lakes to the small, but charming, Hanseatic town of Doesburg. You can stop off at the main town square of the historical Hanseatic town of Doesburg. Visit the Doesburgs mustard factory and ‘de Waag’. Cycling leisurely along the banks of the river Ijssel, you continue towards the picturesque art village of Bronkhorst. Bronkhorst, one of the smallest cities in the Netherlands, houses a museum dedicated to Charles Dickens. After this, Zutphen is your stop for the night and is one of the historic Dutch towns being part of the Hanseatic League. History will engulf you in the ‘s Gravenhof Hotel, which is full of 17th century painting and architecture.

 

 Day 4 Zutphen - Deventer (29 or 42 km)

Although Zutphen and Deventer, both part of the Hanseatic League, are in close proximity to each other, the cycle ride will not take you straight there. The region itself is an eclectic mix of farmland, forest areas and flood plains. You will certainly enjoy the wonderful landscape on the 40 km- cycle ride on the way from one town to another. However, if you are primarily interested in the old historical towns themselves, then the shorter version of the route will guide you more directly to the towns and villages on the way. Deventer, the final stop of your cycle ride, is just as much a historical town as Zutphen. The Waag (Weighing-house) on the edge of the Brink square, the medieval Bergkerk (Mountain Church) on top of a small hill, the old streets around this church and the Saint Lebuïnus church in Gothic style are some of the highlights in this town. During the year, Deventer hosts three events of national and even international fame. In the first weekend of July, the city is the scene of the Deventer on Stilts festivals with actors and artists giving free performances in the streets. In August, Deventer is home to Europe’s largest book fair and finally in December you have the Dickens Festival.

The support given by Tulip Cycling was excellent. The equipment, choice of bike paths and the pre-programmed GPS made the whole experience one of pure delight and fun with gorgeous sights all the way, wonderful accommodations and easy travel.
Tissot family, USA
A wonderful trip!!! Thanks to Peter for all his help to make it so special (and for convincing me to do the trip without a tour group). We had such a great time. My two 10 year old girls had such a great fun (and were proud of their accomplishment). It is a of a trip we will all remember. Thanks for everything! I’ve already recommended you to friends.
Sharon Moore
Just returned from our fabulous journey from Amsterdam to Bruges. It was outstanding! The itinerary, the equipment (bikes, GPS, maps, etc.) and our guide Peter were fantastic. Peter really have deep knowledge of his country, what a memorable ride across the Netherlands.
Brigitte and Francois
Thank you for everything. We packed lots of memories into this trip. It was a grand way to learn about Netherlands and see what a cultured and friendly place it is.
The GPS was essential, and we are so glad we learned to use it. Everytime, we wondered where is Peter taking us? We would come across a canal, field of flowers, quaint village, spectacular scenery. Thank you so much.
Susan and Billy Hobart
You run a very professional organization and we look forward to more tours in the future. You have made us biking enthusiasts.
Michael and Chau Smith
I thought I would just let you know we are having such a GREAT TIME!! Maybe you can find a job for a orthodontist and a Radiologist for us.?
Louise Taillard, South Africa
Thank you so much for this very enjoyable experience! Your organizational skills and attention to detail are outstanding.
Barbara Morgan
Just to thank you again for the wonderful trip, yours was the 7th we made and one of our favorites now
Alicia Fuentes
My wife and I just finished a 4 day self guided tour. It was fabulous! Tulip planned a route that we never could have found on our own. The equipment and handling of our luggage made everything easy. We loved the trip!!
Bob Brownson
Thank you Tulip Cycling for a exciting and scenic 5 day tour through part of your beautiful country. Peter’s meticulous organisation and first class equipment made our ride a memorable one.
Geoff and Bethany Canberra Australia
The trip overall was our favorite vacation we've ever taken. We feel privileged to have visited. As a lifelong cyclist, it was like visiting the promised land.
Katherine and Stephen Coleman, USA
Thank you for organizing our trip this summer, we had a fantastic time and will definitely return in the future. We had so many good experiences traveling along the countryside enjoying the scenery and weather.
Auburn and Sean Brady, USA
We had a great time in Holland.
Thank you for everything.
Carvajal family, Mexico
Our memories are still fresh in our minds and we loved every minute of out time in the Netherlands. Your company ensured the cycling portion was flawless and most enjoyable. Thank you for providing top quality bicycles and support equipment.
John and Peg Lalonde, Canada
The tour was wonderful, and I've recommended your services highly to my friends. In particular, the route selection was superb.
Judith Macaluso, USA
We had the most wonderful holiday with your company and I wish to say a big thank you for all your hard work and professionalism in ensuring we had the best possible experience.
Gillian and John Au, UK
Tulip Cycling just got better!
We do a weeks self guided tour with Tulip Cycling every year and have now been cycling for 9 years each time in a different area of this lovely country.
John and Christine Widdowson, UK
Our trip with you was fantastic....and we've told many others about it. The GPS made it unique.
Martens family, USA
We have recommended your business to many people – as we had a terrific cycling trip, due to your professional organisation and fabulous path routing. The GPS was brilliant and the route really showcased the variety of experiences available in the Netherlands – there is no better way to see a country than through the eyes of a local.
Thank you, again.
Richard Lewis
It was truly an extraordinary journey, where everything was carefully prepared by you and your staff.
We were enchanted by the landscapes of flower fields, windmills, canals, small towns and by the kindness with which we were treated by the Dutch people. It was really unforgettable days that make us want to return, and invite our friends as well.
Emerson de Carvalho
Tailor made tour for 3 days of cycling for my husband, me and teenage son! Fantastic bikes, superb organization!!! A fantastic get away and we just had to show up. Lots of opportunity to add in our own stops along the way, the route details, booked hotels and luggage transport made for a stress free journey. Peter is outstanding and lives what he does. Every detail taken care of do you can just get on the bike pedal away with your GPS route!
Elspeth
We did a six day ride in June to mark my 70th birthday. The accommodations were amazing; small, neat, clean hotels and bed and breakfasts. The GPS was a little iffy for us, but Peter always answered our call for a quick fix! I would love to come back and do another ride.
Terry Dickow
Yes, one can DIY a bike trip around the country, but we believe that the depth of knowledge that Tulip provided for our ride took us to and through places that we would not otherwise have experienced just following a map or Google Maps over 16 days. We believe Tulip provided very good value and we recommend them highly.
Julie So
We asked Peter to plan a ride on our tandem from Amsterdam to Ghent, Belgium in 8 days in September 2018. He planned the route, with beautiful maps and excellent GPS, arranged the hotels and the luggage transport. We even go to almost see the King in The Hague.
Only thing he couldn't control was the weather, when a storm blew in from the North Sea. We got a bit wet and wind-blown, but thoroughly enjoyed all of his arrangements.
Dolly Craft
We did the short version of the historic town. It was perfect for us as an American family of four with two teenage kids (13 and 16). If we ever get another chance, we would do it again and probably build in more days to the trip to just enjoy the different towns.
Samantha Pearson
My husband and I did a 1-week tour through parts of the Netherlands in May 2018 and we loved our experience. Peter and Tulip Cycling were amazing! The level of detail and organization is spectacular! Communication with Peter is easy and quick. Our experience was so good that we are returning again next year with a large group! I highly recommend this tour company - you will be very pleased with the service!
Natascha Wesch
We were very happy with your cycling service. The e-bikes and GPS were an excellent choice for us as was your instruction at the outset. The Hanseatic tour was very interesting and the countryside beautiful. We particularly noticed how friendly and helpful the people in Holland are. We also noticed a more positive attitude about cyclists by motorists in Holland compared to motorists in Canada.
Jim May
Skillfully selected routes, state of the art equipment, charming hotels. Our tour of the Netherlands was seamless. Thank you Tulip Cycling!
Lori & Niamh, Alberta Canada
Very well chosen route, perfect logistics, good equipment. Thank you for a great vacation, Peter. We look forward to coming again.
Alli Gil and Vladimir Kontovorich
Peter provided equipment, guidance, luggage transport and reservations for our 8 day trek from Amsterdam to Gent. It could not have been staged better. The GPS routing was spot on as it kept us on smaller, less traveled roads and brought us to comfortable hotels in each city/town center. As it turned out, I needed to take a day off from cycling because of an injury and Peter arranged for our luggage courier to pick up my bike as well. The bike moved to the next destination and after a day’s respite I was able to join my husband for the rest of the riding. We felt totally supported by Tulip...Read More..

We like to see the world slowly on our feet or on a bike. Tulip helped us make this possible.
Renee and Michael Malaki
Just returned from a fantastic 13-day tailor-made self-guided tour with Tulip Cycling. This was our first cycling trip and it exceeded expectations. The bicycles and accessories were perfect for the terrain, the maps and GPS made it impossible to get lost and guided us past great sights and surprises, and the hotels were centrally located and unique properties.
Tanya and Richard
Tulip Cycling did a great job organizing a beautiful cycling trip for our family. We had three generations of cyclists from ages 9 to 75, and the trip was the perfect amount of cycling for all of us through villages, polders, farm fields, forests, country roads and over bridges and canals. The GPS system worked perfectly, the hotels you suggested were lovely, and every detail of the trip was considered and arranged. We would use you again if we return to the Netherlands for another cycling adventure.
Simone Handfield
On a 10 day Holland trip with my teenage daughter, we decided to add a short bike adventure in the middle and wow are we happy we did! Tulip Cycling was excellent from beginning to end and our biking adventure ended up being the highlight of our Holland trip.
Our route was perfect - interesting, varied and fun. The attention to detail and personalized touch was fantastic - bikes in great shape, gps easy to use, hotels lovely, pick up/drop off convenient. We highly recommend Tulip Cycling and hope to have another, longer adventure with more family members in the future. Lots of thanks...Read More..

Our father - son trip from Amsterdam to Bruges was flawless - thanks in large part to your help and planning and organizing our trip! Your ebikes were very high quality, the itinerary was scenic & safe, the hotels and inns you helped us were wonderful.
David
We meet with Peter in Amsterdam and were very impressed with his knowledge of the cycle trip we were about to embark on and his passion for both cycling and his home country Holland.
My husband and I have done many cycle trips in Europe and found this to be the very best navigation system (idiot proof) and the most amazing bikes. Peter is very proud of both!!
The scenery was simply stunning, the cycleways user friendly and the people so friendly.

I must point out that we experienced the most amazing weather. Out of character for Holland.
We cannot recommend this trip more highly. Our only criticism was no air con in the Hotels which everyone told is not usually needed.
Donna Steur
We had a great time in Netherlands thanks to Tulip Cycling! Our trip was tailor-made to have short daily rides for our kids, which was highly appreciated. The GPS system was perfect, we never got lost. The hotels were nice. We recommend this very professional cycling travel agency.
Aurore Fabre
Nous avons adoré nos vacances à vélo. L’organisation est impeccable, les trajets proposés sont magnifiques. Toute la famille (2 adultes et 2 ados de 13 et 16 ans) est unanime, on recommande vivement Tulip Cycling.
Émile, Marie-Odile, Jean-Charles et Chantal (Québec, Canada)
My husband, I and some friends did 3 times rides with Tulip Cycling, and so far is the best company I met. Peter is very careful. The routes are excellent, the equipment too. Everything is done with great care. We travel a lot by bike and we always want to be with Tulip Cycling. I totally recommend them.
Wania Stocche Barbosa
My adult daughter and I did a cycling tour along the coast of the Netherlands. Tulip Cycling was brilliant. The bikes are extremely comfortable (upright so your shoulders and hands don’t get sore) and in great condition. They put a lot of thought into the paths you cycle and the GPS was easy to deal with. The scenery was breath taking. We utilized the courier service for our luggage and which always beat us to the next stop. I really appreciated the ability to tour the country without having to participate in a large group. Would book through Tulip Cycling again and again!
Constance Lee
My daughter and I were fortunate enough to book a 4 day trip in May 2019. As we were in Almelo visiting family and wanted to head back to Amsterdam, Tulip Cycling arranged a tour up into Friesland and across the Ijsselmeer by ferry. It was fantastic. Well planned, taking us to interesting, out of the way places. The accommodations also interesting and well thought out. Following the gps system was easy, even when we had to take a small detour. I have been recommending this tour company to all my friends.
Rita, Toronto, Canada
Because of you we had a magnificient trip! I am excited to tell all my friends about my trip and this lovely country and encourage them to come and visit and use Tulip Cycling to see the country.
Mary Thomas
Our friends recommended this cycling trip for my 50th birthday and it was a fabulous celebration-- by far the best family vacation we have ever taken! The route Peter crafted for us was perfect-- so beautiful! The hotels were quaint, food was delicious. And our 11 and 12 year old loved riding tandem. I cried when we had to go home. We’ve talked about this trip for months... can't wait to return. A 5-star experience!
Jane and Mark
Tulip Cycling arranged a cycling trip in the provinces of Gelderland and Limburg for us. We spent a wonderful carefree week cycling. The navigation system provided with the itinerary was easy to operate, the overnight accommodations we stayed were conveniently located, and Tulip Cycling even arranged for luggage transportation upon our request. We can heartily recommend Tulip Cycling to anyone who plans a cycling holiday in the Netherlands.
Mary and Marc
We had a great family cycling trip organised by Tulip Cycling ... in Germany ... not quite as planned due to coronavirus! Peter had helped us plan an itinerary from Cologne to Amsterdam, but then the UK put NL on the quarantine list 48 hours before we were due to set off. Peter was fantastically flexible, helping us with a route that didn't cross the border and putting it all into the GPS at the last minute. All the arrangements worked like clockwork and the equipment and service was first class. Highly recommended and hopefully we'll see the Netherlands next time!
