I've done a Dutch 400. The scenery can be reasonably varied, although athletically the lack of ups and downs makes the pedalling quite monotonous.
The cycle paths have the problem of often going around the edge of towns and not having facilities directly on them. Whereas a British audax route will naturally go past village shops and garages etc, it's quite easy to plot a route all the way across NL on cycle paths that goes past nothing.
