Map and guidebook recommendations for the Netherlands

Post by Tangled Metal »

Basically that's it. We need to get maps for our first tour in the Netherlands. What paper map is best. Also what guidebook is worth getting for a cycle tour? We've got a month to sort things out so no time to order and borrow from the library before buying. ,

Probably best is the ANWB complete pack: printed on waterproof paper and with the entire Knoppunkt cycle routing system.
I bought here:

There's also the Falk Fietsatlas Nederland, at a 1:75000 scale, available from Amazon at GBP13.05 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fietsatlas-Ned ... +nederland).

Although it says "loose leaf", it's actually spiral-bound, so the ANWB option suggested by hamster may be more convenient.

ANWB also does a spiral-bound volume, at 1:100000 scale: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ANWB-fietsatla ... 56YVYNCEBQ.

(Although ANWB fietskaarts are highly recommended on this forum, my own view is that the Falk ones are even better.)
