No time for a long vacation but still want to get away from it all? Go for a weekend or on a micro adventure in the Netherlands. A micro adventure is a short, simple adventure close to home. For example, relax in De Peel in Brabant or set up your tent for one night in the Lauwersmeer area. Hikers can do two legs of a long distance walking route. The stages of the Veluwe Zwerfpad and the Pieterpad are ideal for this. Water rats take one of the most beautiful canoe routes in the Netherlands and enjoy the tranquility in the Weerribben or the lively bustle along the Utrecht canals.
You can camp almost anywhere in the Netherlands, with a wide choice of luxury and less luxurious campsites. If you want to camp in nature and wake up to the birdsong, book a natural camping site or Campspace. Wake up at the most beautiful camping spots in Dutch nature in, for example, the Dark Sky Park Lauwersmeer or on the beach in the National Park Zuid-Kennemerland. Camping at the farm is possible at an SVR campsite. For a little more luxury, but still the camping feeling, you are looking for a glamping. Spend the night, for example, in the butterfly garden of Amsterdam-Noord or in a Nomadic Yurt in the Texel dunes.
You will also find plenty of cozy holiday homes in the Netherlands. For example, spend the night at a family holiday park in the Veluwe or on a Wadden Island. You can book special overnight stays in the middle of nature via nature.house.
Nowhere else in Europe you will find so many hiking trails and walking routes per kilometer as in the Netherlands. Follow a marked walking route of Natuurmonumenten or Staatsbosbeheer, download a route via Komoot or create your own route along walking junctions. Each province in the Netherlands offers a completely different landscape. Walk in Limburg through the hills of the Mergelland, in Utrecht over the ridge, in North Holland along the coast and / or in Drenthe along the burial mounds.
Avid hikers can follow one of the official Long Distance Hiking Trails (LAWs) or Regional Trails. The most famous LAW is the Pieterpad, which runs from Pieterburen in the north to the Sint-Pietersberg in the south. A greener alternative to this route through the Netherlands is the Roots Longest Nature Path in the Netherlands. The Krijtlandpad in Limburg runs in a hundred kilometers long round along the highlights of the South Limburg landscape.
The relatively flat Netherlands is a paradise for cyclists. Compile your own cycling route on the basis of nodes that are well marked throughout the Netherlands or follow a local walking route. Throughout the Netherlands you will find beautiful nature reserves for your bike ride. For example, in Groningen and Friesland you can cycle over the dike for days on end, and roll through the dunes on the west side of the Netherlands. In the Veluwe you can cycle through the woods for hours without meeting anyone, and in South Limburg you train your calf muscles in the Mergelland.
The Netherlands is also the country for a relaxing cycling holiday. Cycle bike-packing along cycling junctions in the Netherlands, or follow a long-distance cycling route (LF route). The Netherlands' most famous long-distance walking route, the Pieterpad, has an alternative for cyclists. The Fietserpad runs on quiet roads from North Groningen to South Limburg. History fans cycle the Limes route across the northern border of the former Roman Empire (the Limes). In two hundred kilometers you will pass forty special sights that refer to history. Follow in the footsteps of Van Gogh on the 435-kilometer Van Gogh cycle route through Brabant.
