New 2012 edition Netherlands Cycling Guide. Katherine Widing, Cycle Publishing. A detailed guide to bicycle touring in one of the best places on the planet. With routes in all 11 provinces and short excursions across the border into neighboring Belgium and Germany.
Holland, it's probably the world's most popular country for bicycle touring. It's the place where you can get literally everywhere by bike - just like the natives do. This book highlights more than 50 delightful bike tours into every corner of the country, and sometimes beyond into some of the most picturesque destinations in neighboring Belgium and Germany. Each route is described in extensive detail and illustrated with 2-color route maps. Several of the routes make extensive use of the remaining pedestrian ferries that have carried people across Holland's river delta country for many centuries.

Netherlands Cycling Map. 1:300,000. ANWB. General map of the country showing the road network & railways. Colours are employed to distinguish industrial, urban, woodland, heathland and sandy areas. Park and Ride railways stations are marked and symbols depict features such as petrol stations, car parks, motels, toills, airfields and radio/tv masts. This mapping is overprinted to distinguish various kinds of cycle path (long-distance routes, circuits etc) and show their respective identification numbers. Listed in the margin are the routes which it features. Map legend includes English translation. No index.
On the reverse is another map at the same scale on which cycle routes are not marked, but other information is presented: mountain bike routes, car and bicycle ferries and local bicycle hire facilities - with contact phone numbers.

In English! Netherlands Cycling Maps (Toeristenkaart). 1:100,000. ANWB. ANWB seems to change cycling map series every other year. This new series replaces the 1:75,000 series listed above, which replaced the old 1:100,000 series. In any case, this new series offers excellent detail and the cycling routes are all highlighted, with route numbers. Of major importance is that the index includes English, which maeks these maps much easier to use.

Netherlands Cycling Atlases. 1:75,000. ANWB. This excellent series has been discontinued by the publisher. We have the following item still in stock. These atlases show excellent detail of the Netherlands cycling routes, such as the "LF" (Landelijke Fietsroutes) as well as the numerous local paths. The maps show excellent detail of the roads, backroads, and paths, but lack topographic detail.
If you prefer topographic detail, then the 1:50,000 cycling map series listed above are what you want. The guides are 5 x 8-1/2" and include information on bike shops, tourist info, etc. In Dutch.

Netherlands Cycling Maps (Toeristische kaarten). 1:100,000. ANWB. Unfortunately this series is out of print and has been replaced by the 1:75,000 series listed above. The maps listed below are what we still have in stock.
The maps carry essential information for cycle-touring in the Netherlands, indicating not only cycle paths and roads with separate cycle paths but most importantly, roads that are closed to cyclists. The maps also indicate the five-digit numbers shown on special ANWB road signs which can be found on many junctions of minor country roads. Tourist information includes campsites and youth hostels. On the reverse, each map has an index. The maps give no geographical co-ordinates. This series is being discontinued and replaced by the 1:75,000 series noted above. The scale is noted next to each map.
Unfortunately the legend is in Dutch only, so below is a translation of a few important terms found on the maps:
a) Weg met vrijliggend(e) (brom)fietspad(en) - Road with a separate (moped and) cycle path(s) b) Weg met vrijliggend(e) fietspad(en) - Road with a separate cycle path(s) c) (Brom)fietspad - (Moped and) cycle path d) Fietspad - Cycle path e) Verhard toeristisch (brom)fietspad tenminste 2m breed - Metalled tourist (moped and) cycle path at least 2 metres wide f) Weg verboden voor (brom)fietsers - Road closed (literally forbidden) to (mopeds and) cyclists g) Voetpad - Footpath h) Schilderachtige route - Scenic route For those wanting more detail, the 1:50,000 cycling maps listed above offers superb topographic detail with every turn of the various bike routes shown. In Dutch.
