When Corona had to stop it because of it, she was halfway to her bike ride around the world. Then cycling through the Netherlands, traveling organizer, photographer, writer and cyclist van der Meir. “I really enjoy life from bicycle bags. I have now discovered that you can have a similar feeling in the Netherlands. “
The book came as a result of his discovery voyage from Wolceran to Waden Sea. The starting point for the four national parks is Oystersheld, de Bisbosch, de Hoque Veluwe and Verriben-Wyden. “I connected them with trails from rivers, fortified cities and other beautiful areas.”
To enjoy
First by zooming in on the maps and exploring alternatives without missing a beat, Van der Meer has put together a 550-kilometer stretch that has paved the way as much as possible on the main road without lying. With twice the distance of the Eleven Cities bicycle tour, this can be done in two days. But for her it was definitely not the purpose. “Then you can’t really enjoy the environment, can you?”

He has divided his way into four long weekends. “If you want to make the trip all at once, you’ll be on the road for about eight days.”
Lux
Cyclists can choose to stay overnight at camps and hotels along the route. “But you can also stay overnight with friends on the bike network or via P&P. You can make your trip as luxurious as you want. Take it until it suits you. I completed the Rotterdam-Keithorn section in two weeks with a group of over 60s. We stayed for a few days to find a city exactly. ”
Of course I cycled straight through South America and China, so there is a different reference than most cyclists here
There are sometimes complaints about the maintenance status of Dutch lanes. But according to Van der Mir, they are beautiful. “But of course I cycled straight through South America and China, so there’s a different reference than most cyclists here.”
Satisfying
She was also struck by how easy it is to enter a city like Nijmegen via fast-paced lanes. “As a cyclist it is very special how safe and well you can get in and out of the city.”
Van der Meer enjoyed cycling in his home country and he has already signed two new cycling books. She still does not want to say what the ways will be. “Anyway, there’s a lot of cycling in Frieslan.”
