In the Netherlands the North Sea Cycle Route follows LF Kustroute (Coastal Route) between the Belgian en German border. The northern part of EuroVelo 12 displays panoramic polders, large farms with flocks of sheep and charming villages. It includes some sections through protected areas with impressive sand dunes where no motorised traffic is allowed. Further to the south the route crosses a series of islands that have been connected to each other by dams in the second part of the 20th century.
