Netherlands Cycling Atlases. 1:75,000. ANWB. This excellent series has been discontinued by the publisher. We have the following items 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 Unfortunately this series is out of print and has been replaced by the 1:75,000 series listed above.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.
