Gelderland is great to ride.
But if you don't know the routes, it can be boring, too.
But other parts of the country can also be fantastic.
The problem is that Gelderland is not exactly on the line Rotterdam - Kerkrade.
Windmills: Kinderdijk. Very tourist-like and for Asians, not for me. I don't know if that is a must see. But if you want: yes, there are some windmills and on your route.
Flowers: then you must come now and not even 2 weeks later. For the bulbs, season is already over. End of july there no single flower left. So, forget it.
But if I may recommend something: look for "knooppuntenroutes".
You'll ride from knot to knot, from junction to junction.
On every junction, all numbered, there is a map of the area and you can choose for the next part of the route. You have thousands of options.
All you have to do is follow the numbers. Usually smaller, more quiet roads and paths.
You can even plan it online if you like.

But if you like to ride in Gelderland, I can guide you around for a day (maybe).
