Cycle paths on reclaimed Dutch dykes
A bicycle ride through the Dutch countryside allows the flat landscape to be explored. The cycle paths were made especially for bikes and offer safe, easy cycling. The paths are elevated on man-made dykes, giving cyclists a good view over the lower lying countryside from which the name Netherlands originates. A graphic map is used to show how the land has been reclaimed using the formation of dykes.
