The Best Cycle Route in The Netherlands I Backpacking Trip

I set off from Glasgow by train to the North East of England where I caught the DFDS Seaways ferry to Ijmuiden, The Netherlands.
This is my itinerary, which worked out perfectly - it was my first ever solo bike packing trip.
I'd highly recommend it.
I stayed in the Stay Okay Hostels, which were wonderful.
The cycle paths were a dream to rude on. The country and its people were beautiful.
I'm already planning a trip to the northern parts of the country as I love it so much.
This trip focused on the South.
from Ijmuiden I cycled to Haarlem, from there to Kuekenhof, and from there to Noordwijkerhout where I stayed over night.
Next day I followed the sand dunes south and passed through Noordwijk, Katwijk and Scheveningen. I headed over to The Hague, where I stayed the night. Next day I headed to Delft and Rotterdam, cthen to Kinderdijk and back to Rotterdam where I stayed the night. Next day was Gouda and Utrecht where I stayed the night. And finally to Amsterdam and NDSM Amsterdam and back to Amsterdam for a stay overnight. I travelled home on the overnight sailing the following day.
Please, if you've any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask. I'd be happy to help.

The bird you heard, is a frog

@Andries7411 Wow thank you so much for informing me. I've not heard a real live frog so wouldn't have known! They were loud 🤣☺️

I love your interest in our countryside, old and new villages and towns. Too often the Netherlands is only chosen for one of those things...

What you have shown as the the Keukenhof were just tulip fields in the neighbourhood. The Keukenhof is a park with al lot of tourist!
