Discover why the Netherlands’ Hansa (Hanzesteden) Route is bikepacking on easy mode. Three weeks of flat, separated cycle paths, ferries, windmills, medieval port towns, farm stops, fort camping, and a few chaotic detours. Follow Dan & Tina as Plan A implodes and a beginner-friendly tour unfolds with a slow daily pace, plethora of baked goods and some type-2 fun.

We explore Rotterdam, Utrecht, Amersfoort, Hardewijk, Kampen, Zwolle, Olst, Doesburg, Arnhem, Nijmegen, Lobith, Xanten, Duisburg and Dusseldorf (and then make a final completely unrelated stop in Copenhagen) before we head to Taiwan for the next adventure.

  1. As said earlier it is “Hanze” and not “Hansa”. Hanze is an old word for a bond. In this case a trading bond connecting 22 cities in the Netherlands and Germany.

  2. Did you just start this channel? No .. it's 5 years old. But it has no subs, yet it has the quality of a 100K channel. I am intrigued…. have a new sub.

    at 3:32, if you were on a bike path, you are allowed to act like a local and yell angrily at the pedestrians, it's them that should walk on the road or on the grass…. But if it was a walking path I have said nothing.

  3. The funny thing about our country is, that no matter which foreigner goes on a bike trip , it's impossible for them to pick a route that doesn't have at least a few obscure landmarks that I have been to myself. And I am not even the adventurous type , our country is just that small.

  4. The honking trucks likely had kids in them as passengers from a "Make A Wish"-like foundation. Sick or under-privileged kids get to ride along in those trucks for one day a year.

  5. Nice video! For anyone interested there’s also a Trans Nederland Noord Zuid route which is about 600km long and loooaaads of offroad. Actually, most of it is offroad. It’s on the internet someplaces but it’s not the most recent one. And there’s also a new route which isn’t online at all. Ping me if interested. I know the guy who made both routes

  6. That’s interesting you had to walk the bike off the ferry- I wouldn’t have know to do that, either. I’m bicycle riding in Holland in March- good to know. I guess it makes sense. To them. The steel decking can be slippery.

  7. Had me laughing out loud that you had wonderful weather all throughout the Netherlands (knowing some people like to complain that it is raining so much) and the moment you crossed into Germany it began raining 😂

  8. At 19:04 Deventer, my birth town! The bridge appeared in the 1976 movie 'A bridge too far' where it portrayed as the Arnhem bridge.
    Anyway, thanks for the video. You have shown me places in my own country I have not been too.
