RouteXpert Review You start at the Tour Start Point; Café 't Hof van Colmschate. A friendly village café where the coffee is ready and you immediately feel like you've ended up in the real Salland. You leave the built-up area and drive via Lettele to Heeten. Here the landscape begins to unfold - with wide fields, forest edges and straight dike roads. A little further on you reach the edge of the Sallandse Heuvelrug, marked as a Tour Info Point. This is one of the most beautiful nature reserves in the eastern Netherlands, with rolling heathlands, sandy paths and views towards the Veluwe. You meander between Holten and Nijverdal and feel the wind through your helmet as you ride over the flanks of the ridge. Time seems to stand still here for a moment. You head for Hellendoorn, where the route bends north towards Den Ham and then runs via Ommen to Dalfsen. There you will find the atmospheric Tour Pauze Punt; The old station. A characteristic station building from 1903, now a Grand Café where you can have lunch between old tracks and stained glass windows. Take your time, this is one of those places where your motorcycle boots will naturally stay on the ground a little longer.
After Dalfsen the route makes an arc via Heino, Wijhe and Olst. You cross small hamlets, pass rows of pollard willows and follow roads that are made for relaxed motorcycling. In Diepenveen you can refuel at the Tour Fuel Point; AVIA De Keur – a modern pump with service and a shop for on the road. The route ends at the Tour End Point; Pa en Ma Schalkhaar, a charming café where you can sit down for a coffee or a daily special. Whether you ride alone or with a group, it feels like coming home here. Your engine stops for a moment, but your head doesn't.
The Salland Route is a motorcycle tour that combines peace and beauty with good asphalt and nice stops. Ideal for a day of touring without haste. The roads are good, the landscape is typically Dutch but surprisingly varied, and the catering along the way is warm and welcoming. This route proves that you don't have to go abroad for a rich motorcycle experience. Start your engine, breathe in - and discover Salland at its best.

Route Collections in this region The 10 most beautiful car and motorcycle routes in the Netherlands
These 10 routes in the Netherlands have been carefully selected, checked and made equal for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation by a MyRoute-app RouteXpert. The 10 most beautiful motorcycle and car routes in the Netherlands are always a snapshot, and a personal opinion of the reviewer. This does not alter the fact that every lover of beautiful roads and interesting sights will enjoy these routes.
The ten routes are spread over 10 provinces, we only skipped Flevoland and South Holland. Interesting routes can also be found in the MyRoute app RouteXpert library, but we still want to stick to the 10 most beautiful and not the 12 most beautiful.
Enjoy the many fortresses and castles that are included in the routes, such as Fort Veldhuis in North Holland. But also take a look at the route southeast of Nijmegen and visit the impressive Canadian War Cemetery and Memorial. The route 'Overijssel in bird's eye view' includes the oldest house in the Netherlands and the route along the IJssel is probably the most beautiful piece of asphalt in the Netherlands.
This way there is something for everyone in this route collection. If you do not agree with these 10 routes, please send us an e-mail, indicate which route(s) should be removed and which route you would like to see instead. Maybe your route will be included in this collection of the 10 most beautiful routes in the Netherlands!
