On Saturday, October 18, 2025, it is finally here: the Tour of Holland will pass through Drenthe. A cycling stage starting in Emmen and finishing on the VAM Mountain, the highest point of the province. For residents, visitors, and cycling enthusiasts, a chance to admire the riders up close and experience a cycling festival together.
The riders will depart from the Market Square in Emmen and follow a route that winds through villages and landscapes, heading towards the municipality of Midden-Drenthe. Along the way, they will pass through villages in the municipality of Coevorden. The stage ends at the Roof of Drenthe, where the audience can see the cycling finale up close.
Drenthe is the Cycling Province of the Netherlands
Deputy Henk Jumelet: “In Drenthe, we know what cycling means. It is part of how we live. That’s why we are the cycling province of the Netherlands. We gladly ride bikes to school, to work, or just to enjoy the landscape. With the Tour of Holland, we show sports enthusiasts from home and abroad our beautiful province. From Emmen to the VAM Mountain: a stage that showcases what we are proud of. Sports, nature, and people creating something beautiful together.”
