2+2 MTB Touring
WOLVEGA (NL) – The Bureau for Tourism Friesland Holland in Wolvega put together a very attractive mountainbike holiday in the Frisian Woods. Renting top MTB’s from Friesland Holland, such as a Merida bike, is optional. Riders can take off on their bikes in the morning from one of the bases in this package, the MTB-hotels Holland Inn in Wolvega and Hotel 't Klaverblad in Appelscha. The stunning bikes which can be rented by those who book this package are maintained with the assistance of MTB-specialist Weerman Tweewielers in Wolvega.
The first two nights will be spent in location 1. On day three the booker will make his or her way to the other hotel where also two nights will be spend. On day five the return journey will lead to the first night’s lodging, the start hotel, where, if applicable, the car can be collected. Friesland Holland Travel Service will take care to deliver the luggage at the start hotel in the second half of the afternoon.
De MTB trail (17 km, extendable to 28 km) near Appelscha is located in Friesland and partially in Drenthe. You will bike in a beautiful nature area with plenty of variety. It is a wooded area interspersed with fields, meadows, heathland and water. The trail was especially laid out for mountainbikers and is maintained all year long by volunteers in order to guarantee its accessibility. In Kuinre is another MTB trail in the Kuinderbos (woods). This trail has a length of 30 kilometres.
The luggage will be transported from hotel to hotel by Friesland Holland Travel Service. In case of breakdown, Friesland Holland Assistance will immediately come into action. Within 90 minutes you can be on your way again. The luggage service and the assurance to continue one’s trip are included in the price. Luggage transport for cyclists is only possible from April through to September.

Rental MTB extra information:
WOLVEGA (NL) – Albert Hendriks of the travel organisation Friesland Holland Travel arranged for a Merida mountainbike to be modified in such a way that it can handle hotel-mountainbike holidays. The bike has been tested on the road, in the snow and on muddy forest paths in southeast Friesland, as well as in the Kuinderbos (woods) and in the Noordoostpolder (large area in the province of Flevoland).
If you decide to book this package, feel free to bring your own bike or rent a Merida bike from Friesland Holland at €15,- per day. The rental bike will be waiting for you on the first day of biking, day 1 of the package, before 10 in the morning.
The Merida Big.Nine TFS 300, a so-called ‘hardtail twentyniner mountainbike’ (with lockable front suspension – no rear suspension) was upgraded from a basic price of €849,- to €1.044,28 with extras such as a helmet (Giro Venti), a high power ultra-bright white LED front light (XLC), LED rear light (XLC), front and rear mud guards (shockblade and x-blade by SKS Germany), rear stand (Hebie), bidon holder (Elite Custom Race), bidon (PRO bikegear), handlebar bag (Basil), cable lock (AXA), reflective tire lines (XLC) and inner tube (Schwalbe). The extras enable the bike to also handle road sections between the hotel and the MTB-trails as well as areas without designated bike trails. The MTB-trail in the forestry of Appelscha is the only proper MTB-trail in Friesland. In Gaasterland, Bakkeveen and also in the Frysian Woods mountainbiking is done on equestrian or cycle paths. The ultralight handlebar bag enables you to bring along a camera, cable lock as well as rain gear.
