Cycle tour through the tulip fields in the Netherlands
What could be more beautiful than marvelling at the blossoming nature in all its splendour in spring? The famous tulip fields in the Netherlands are particularly colourful.
On a cycle tour through the colourful fields, you can enjoy the fresh spring air and the slowly warming weather while being surrounded by tulip fields as far as the eye can see.
A cycle tour on the Tulip route Flevoland is particularly recommended. This annual event, which takes place during the tulip blossom season, features signposted car and cycle routes through the tulip fields, which also lead past cosy cafés and small shops so that you can take a relaxing break in between.
If you book a stay at EuroParcs Zuiderzee during this period, you will be close to the beautiful sea of flowers and can visit the fields spontaneously!
If you prefer to see tulips in creative arrangements, a visit to the Keukenhof gardens is well worthwhile. EuroParcs Noordwijkse Duinen is only around 30 minutes away by bike, making it an ideal starting point for a short or spontaneous cycle tour to the tulips.
Cycle to the windmills in De Zaanse Schans
De Zaanse Schans looks like an open-air museum, because here you will find typical Dutch windmills and wooden houses. However, this is not a museum, but a workplace for clog makers and tinsmiths. There is also a cheese dairy and artisan mills.
As the town welcomes tourists, there are also numerous restaurants, small shops and souvenir shops.
Plan a cycle tour to this special place and discover the Dutch countryside along the way. Cycle across the flat land, cross numerous small bridges and enjoy the view of the water that is omnipresent in the Netherlands.
If you combine this excursion with a stay at EuroParcs Het Amsterdamse Bos, you can also cycle through Amsterdam on the way to the Zaanse Schans and explore a varied cycle route.
Alternatively, the EuroParcs Spaarnwoude and EuroParcs Buitenhuizen holiday parks are located nearby and are ideal starting points for cycling tours to the Zaanse Schans.

Cycle tour along the North Sea coast
A salty breeze, sandy dune landscapes and seagulls in the sky - the seaside always puts you in a holiday mood.
Take a cycle tour along the coast, watch the kite surfers in the waves while you cycle and treat yourself to a delicious fish sandwich during a break on the beach. Or pack a picnic basket with all your favourite snacks before the tour and then have a picnic on the beach.
It is usually a little windier at a holiday by the sea, so you may encounter more headwinds on your bike tour along the coast than on an inland tour. If you are staying at a EuroParcs holiday park, you can hire bikes or even e-bikes at the park, so the headwind will no longer be a problem.
There are particularly beautiful cycle routes close to the sea on the Wadden Sea island of Texel. Here you can cycle through the De Slufter nature reserve, which is a breeding ground for many different bird species and also offers fantastic views. This route can also be combined with a visit to the lighthouse on Texel.
EuroParcs De Koog is located very close to De Slufter. Here you can spend a wonderful island holiday with your family or friends and enjoy cycling tours along the sea.
The holiday parks EuroParcs Cadzand and EuroParcs Noordwijkse Duinen are also located near the coast. From these parks, you can go on cycle tours to Leiden or Breskens. Along the way, you can marvel at picturesque fishing villages and take a refreshing dip in the sea.
Hilly discovery tour: cycling through Limburg
If you're looking for something a little more sporty and would like to add a few metres of elevation gain to your cycle tour, Limburg is the place for you.
Here you can cycle through the IJzerenbos nature reserve, where deciduous forests alternate with meadows and fields as you cycle up and down the hills. Along the way, you can stop in small towns and take a look at the historic buildings or simply enjoy some ice cream in between.
EuroParcs Limburg is located very close to the IJzerenbos. This holiday park is also the ideal starting point for excursions to the Valkenburg Caves, Hoensbroek Castle or Maastricht - destinations that can be perfectly combined with a cycle tour through Limburg.
The holiday parks EuroParcs Gulperberg and EuroParcs Poort van Maastricht are also located in the province of Limburg and are surrounded by beautiful nature that is well worth discovering on a cycle tour.
Alternatively, you can also make trips to Germany or Belgium from these parks, as both borders are close by.
Cycling tour with a panoramic view of the Alps in Austria
In Austria, you can enjoy mountain biking with a fantastic view or take a relaxing cycle tour and focus more on the surroundings than on the sport.
EuroParcs operates several holiday parks in Austria, all of which are located directly on or near a beautiful lake. So after a long and exciting bike tour, you can refresh yourself with a dip in the refreshing water from the jetty at EuroParcs Wörthersee, paddle off on a pedalo or SUP board from EuroParcs Pressegger See or use the outdoor pool at EuroParcs Hermagor Nassfeld.
Afterwards, you can enjoy a barbecue with your loved ones at the campsite or on the terrace of your holiday home while planning the next day's cycle tour.
A cycling holiday by the lake sounds great, but you'd rather travel to Germany? Then discover EuroParcs Biggesee, which is located in Sauerland and also has many beautiful cycle routes in the area.
