Discover the Leiden Ommelanden by bike!

Together with the surrounding villages, Leiden has created seven cycling routes, each with its own theme. The city-country connection is made in these routes. These experience routes go over the existing cycle junction network. You can cycle from the Singelpark to the Katwijk dunes, experience the farmlands of Zoeterwoude via the Oostvlietpolder or enjoy the many windmills around the Kagerplassen. Get to know local sights and nature along the way.
