A relaxed cycle tour around Holland and Texel - IJmuiden - Schoorl - Den Helder - Den Burg - around Texel - Westerland - Medemblik - Enkhuizen - Hoorn - Rustenburg - Ijmuiden.
Staying in accommodation provided through Vrienden op de Fiets - the hosts and rooms were one of the highlights of the holiday. Used AirBnB for Texel accommodation.

Nice to see images of my home province and routes I cycle quite often myself.

A little correctie Texel is not a Fries but a Nord Holland eiland i like this video I live in Den Helder and work on Texel so I take the boot every day

Looks like you had an amazing time. I am glad you enjoyed the hospitality and sights as much as you did, despite the winds.
@ronaldderooij1774 2 years ago
I must admire your courage. You probably chose one of the windiest routes in the Netherlands.

What a great video! I have cycle toured in NL a number of times, so this brought back some nice memories 😄I am glad to see you used Vrienden op de Fiets - I think it's a wonderful organisation, and I've met so many lovely hosts through using them. I have even ended up good friends with the family who hosted me in Arnhem a couple of years ago!

Lovely trip, i should have visited that provincie (NH) at 50 yo, by now.
But i live in (NB) in the South, still kronkelroutes and knooppunt routes to explore over here. Highly recommend visiting.
Well one of these days, Thanx for uploading.

Great video! I understand that all of the islands are called Frisian Islands by people not living in the Netherlands. But in the Netherlands Texel is not a Frision island, being part of North Holland.

Great coverage of your trip through Noord-Holland. Texel as you already know is part of Noord-Holland. My wife and I did a tour through Holland from the 8th of June till June the 28th. We did a Holland tour starting a our home in Amsterdam, we went through Texel, Vlieland, Harlingen, Leeuwarden, Groningen, up to the border of Germany and then via the velurback to Amsterdam. We had two weeks of cold rainy and windy weather and the last week with 30 degrees Celsius.

Very nice video.only the music is a bit loud . More fitting for a action movie😅.

Really great video! Nice camera work, informative voice overs and a very good representation of what it is like to do such bicycle tours in the Netherlands. My only criticism: I found the music a bit overbearing, in volume and in style but for the rest I relly enjoyed it.
