Route Summary
This will start right through Friesland in Friesland. This to be able to drive around the Lauwersmeer. You can start the day at the beach pavilion 't Mootje in Oostmahorn and enjoy the view. Via the coastal road with a nice viewpoint you explore this beautiful province. You drive quietly on typical Groningen farm roads to the Grote Markt in Groningen. Time for a pancake, and take some time to put the engine in the parking lot and walk to the Martini Tower, worth a photo opportunity! With a full belly on the bike, it will not be long before you are in Slochteren. There you can take a beautiful photo at the Fraeylemaborg! Through nice places like Oude Pekela and Vlagtwedde you make a large U-turn around the river 'Ruiten Aa' and you come in the roundness beautiful fortified town of Bourtange. Not such a crazy idea to go through this, maybe even an overnight stay? It is not for nothing that Bourtange is declared the most beautiful fortified town in the Netherlands!

RouteXpert Review
Why not go to Groningen? Maybe not in the neighborhood if you live in Limburg, but it is still worth it to drive this route, perhaps overnight in the beautiful Bourtange? The route goes for Dutch standards on very quiet roads. But cosiness has also been thought of, for example Groningen is just a cozy city with a beautiful center. The route is, as you expect, very carefully put together. But this time, TomTom and Garmin do not agree with each other in Oostmahorn, in this case the front rider follow and after Oostmahorn the route is automatically picked up again. Read the disclaimer at the bottom of this page for more information.

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!
