	Bruges - Amsterdam

	The Low Countries from Flanders to Holland . 8 days . ship category comfort deluxe/comfort/standardplus

The trip starts in the beautiful and richly decorated Bruges. You cycle beside the canal to Ghent, a bubbling entertainment town, famous for its different kinds of beer. These two Belgian cities experienced their golden age long before the emergence of the Dutch as a trading nation. This is clearly evident in the architecture and paintings of the Flemish school.

After this rich Flanders, you leave Belgium and enter The Netherlands. You encounter a mixture of landscapes, wide views over broad waters, impressive cloudscapes and here and there a sleepy village. On the way a rich history passes you: the Triangle of Forts with Gorinchem, Slot Loevenstein and Woudrichem. In Gorinchem you can still see the walls of the old fortified town. If you have the chance, visit Slot Loevenstein, one of the beautiful medieval castles of The Netherlands. Woudrichem is the third fortified town.

Via Vianen you cycle along the Vecht river back to Amsterdam. The Vecht has many large and monumental country houses, built in the Golden Age by the rich people of Amsterdam. The Bike&Boat holidays Amsterdam-Bruges and Bruges-Amsterdam can be combined into a 15-day trip. That gives us extra time to visit Bruges.
