Cycling on Vlieland

Visitors to Vlieland leave their car on the mainland, which makes the bicycle the natural way to get around.

• Small and easy to explore: from the village it is a short ride to woods, dunes, mudflats and beach.
• Hire a bike near the harbour: the bicycle hire shops are within walking distance of the ferry.
• Ready-made tours: the cycling routes below are easy to combine.
• From woodland to sand plain: Bomenland and the Vliehors are among the most contrasting nature reserves on the island.
• Beach and walking: park your bike at a beach access point for the beach on the North Sea side, or have a look at our walking routes.

• On the Dorpsstraat: Zeelen and Frisia are on the same street, in the heart of the village.
• Standard or electric: you can hire standard bikes and e-bikes for a day or longer.
