Green heart of holland






The agricultural heartland of Holland is a super place to bike and is known as "the Green Heart of Holland." We took the train to Gouda, then biked to Oudewater, a sixteenth century town with original architecture. Since you can only drive to it, there are no tourists. But it is the bike ride getting to Ouedewater that is truly magical. The big open fields with cows offer great views. The small lanes with tree lined canals have and 17th and 18th century farmhouses with thatch roofs.
