Follow meandering streams and winding trails as you pedal through the gardens that have inspired Dutch landscape painters for centuries. Enjoy the wind in your hair as you ride along country roads skirting vineyards and medieval towns. Take a break from the bike with a few non-pedal-powered adventures.
