On yer bike! In a country as flat as this, you’ll find cycle paths almost everywhere. If you want a challenge try the (slightly) hilly area of St Pieter, with its 80km of cycle paths, though it has its ups and downs.

There are a number of lake diving centres in Holland. The Lakes of Vinkeveen are amongst the most popular, with a large designated diving zone, crystal waters and underwater ‘objects’ to discover.

The Netherlands' numerous nature reserves include the Wadden Sea to the North. You step in when the tide goes out and discover what’s left on the sand. The Hoge Veluwe National Park can be discovered on foot, or using one of 1,000 free bikes.

Before dipping your toe in one of the many lakes, consider Loosdrechtse Plassen near Amsterdam. You’ll find sailing and windsurfing schools, plus the opportunity to swim in the lake.
