Route map and overview

The cycle route is considered easy. Short stages and few climbs ensure that cycling with pleasure is central. Sometimes you need a little more power on the slightly hilly cycle paths, but it never takes long before you will continue on the road. Apart from some slight differences in elevation, the route mainly takes you on flat, cobbled roads, sometimes short sections on busy roads.
