Officially the province of Limburg of the Netherlands does not have any mountains, but it sure has hills. Therefor it is called Het Heuvelland: the hilly country! So a good area for some nice motorcycle riding on plenty of winding roads. Valkenburg is a very popular destination for tourists and therefor has all the facilities you would want to make this a perfect place to stay during the Dutch Mountains tour.

With ride 1 of the Dutch Mountains we will take you for 130 km / 80 miles of mainly winding roads through the hills of the province of Limburg. And the first stop is in the capital of the province, with a nice walk so you can taste the atmosphere of this lovely medieval city. And then, we are going to take you across the border into Belgium to a place that used to be called the valley of the devil, but since the 1200 now is described as the valley of god. You can do some proper sightseeing or just have a small walk around or drink or bite to eat at the restaurant just opposite of the road. And our ride 1 ends at one of our recommended accommodations just outside of Valkenburg for a nice refreshing drink on its beautiful terrace.

Luckily there are still enough nice backroads left for a second ride in the Dutch Mountains tour. Ride 2 is 140 km / 85 miles long and with this ride you will get to the highest point of the Netherlands and to the border of Belgium ánd Germany. With a kiosk for coffee or tea a perfect first Quazy Rides stop. After some more hills and curves you most probably will have an appetite, so we are bringing you to one of our favourite lunch stops in this area. And if you like strawberries, you are in for a treat! Going back to Valkenburg we have found some last hills that we wanted to take you on and we are ending this lovely ride 2 with a matching view at another of our recommended accommodations.
The Clogs & Windmills tour will take you to the lovely city of Haarlem, just East of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The rides will let you explore the part of the Netherlands that is actually called Holland: the provinces of North and South Holland. You will be able to see clogs and windmills, as that where Holland is famous for. And although this part of the Netherlands is completely flat and even most of it below sea level, there is some nice riding to do over dikes and backroads, bringing you to some #1 tourist highlights in the Netherlands!
Clogs & Windmills ridesWith this Market Garden tour you will be exploring the area where operation Market Garden was conceived and launched. The rides of the Market Garden tour are filled with interesting memorials and museums, but of course, also nice riding through the “Kempen” and "Peel en Maas” areas. And in Eindhoven or its surrounding villages you will definitely experience the “Southern Dutch” hospitality, making this a motorcycle roadtrip to remember.
Market Garden ridesThe Flanders area of Belgium is mainly flat, but that doesn’t mean you can not do a nice motorcycle tour in this area. We ourselves were pleasantly surprised by the nice riding we have done with this rides. And this being the Chocolate and Beer tour we have added some stops “in theme”. We are sure you are going to love Bruges and its surroundings!
Chocolate & Beer ridesRight in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes ánd the exact area where the Bulge of the Battle of the Bulge was situated we have 2 amazing rides. The Belgian Ardennes are a very nice area to enjoy riding your bike. And that all in combination with interesting sites where, if you want, you can get to know everything on the Battle of the Bulge, take impressive pictures with one of the many WWII memorials that you will come across but also nice stops for drinks and food! And with the lovely city of La Roche-en-Ardenne in typical and beautiful Ardennes landscape we are sure you will have a great time here during your own motorcycle roadtrip.
Battle of the Bulge ridesThere is a saying on the 3 most famous French wines: Bourgogne makes you think of silly things, Bordeaux makes you talk about them, and Champagne makes you do them. So we had to come and explore the Champagne area in a Quazy Rides tour! We're exploring the Parc naturel régional de la Montagne de Reims, the Marne valley, the vineyards and champagne villages in the so called Golden Triangle of Champagne during the day and getting to know everything about the "devine nectar" after 2 beautiful rides at night. Including some tasting of course!
Sipping Champagne ridesThe Loire Valley offers rolling green hills and numerous renaissance castles. And in this Lovely Loire tour we will of course let you experience both: lovely riding and beautiful views. The city of Tours is definitely the most attractive city along the river Loire and there is a lot for you to enjoy during your stay there. And therefore perfect central point for the Lovely Loire tour.
