Gentle Green Heart Next day, following the sailing from Vianen to Schoonhoven we hop on our bikes once again as we head via Kinderdijk to Rotterdam. Kinderdijk has the largest group of windmills in the Netherlands and it's well worth taking a break from your cycle here. From Delft we cycle in the direction of The Hague, through the Haagse Bosch to Wassenaarse Slag. Further through the dunes, to the old fishing village of Katwijk aan Zee, and following the course of the Oude Rijn (Old Rhine).

imilar in design to our Green Heart tour, Gentle Green Heart is an easier paced tour, during which you won't be cycling more than around 40kms a day and allowing plenty of time to visit museums, enjoy a spot of café culture, relax by a lake or take a wander around the historic towns you'll be cycling through. Beginning in Amsterdam, you'll soon be following the river Amstel and passing through Vreeland, Loenen and Nieuwersluis, before reaching Breukelen, the charming town that gave its name to the well known New York district of Brooklyn.
S
Next stop is Haarlem, a lively city with numerous interesting 17th-century sights. Particulaly interesting are the hofjes (almshouses), Grote Markt (Market Square) and St Bavo's Church. Your final day's cycling takes you from Spaarndam to the delightful hamlet of Zaanse Schans, characterised by its traditional weatherboard houses, warehouses and windmills, before we return to Amsterdam.
