Cycling through Midden-Delfland

You can take this route from both TOP Vlaardingen and TOP Maasland. This varied route shows you the green space of Hof van Delfland, but also the old port city of Vlaardingen. Along the way you will come across various windmills, and you can relax on a terrace.

.Midden Delfland is characterized by the agricultural cultural landscape, where the cows are in the meadow. The beautiful monumental farms and churches are definitely worth a photo. The villages of Maasland and Schipluiden form the jewels in the landscape. Here you can enjoy the local products that are served on the terraces of the catering establishments. Take home artisan cheese or delicious jams as a memento.
