Along the Nieuwe Waterweg

Cycle the entire Nieuwe Waterweg and explore the coastal area between Hoek van Holland and Maassluis. Hoek van Holland in particular is known for its beautiful waters, nature and dune areas, not to mention the beaches. The area originated as a sandbank in the mouth of the Meuse, which became increasingly silted up after the St. Elisabeth flood of 1421. The development of the city as a seaside resort began after the First World War and you can now enjoy many beautiful, varied nature reserves along the coast. The Oranjekanaal, De Zeven Meren, the Staelduinse Bos, the Kapittelduinen and the beaches are just a selection of the many recreational options that Hoek van Holland offers. You start the route at Peter van Leeuwen Tweewielers in Hoek van Holland and from here you explore the area.
